    Journal: Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi; 1998 Feb; 36(2):101-2. PubMed ID: 11715549.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To decrease bleeding during renal malignancy resection and to get higher resection rate as a paliative treatment for advanced renal carcinoma. METHODS: 50 cases of renal carcinoma were treated with renal artery embolization from 1981 to 1996. In 96% of the cases the tumour size was larger than 7 cm in diameter. Gelatine, spring coil with antineoplastic agent were used as embolizer. RESULTS: After tembolization, the average bleeding of 46 cases in nephrectomy was 254 ml. Resection rate was 10%. Pain and fever varied after embolization in most cases. In 82.6% of the cases, surgery was done within 48 hours after embolization. There was no mortality and morbolity in this series. CONCLUSIONS: Renal artery embolization is an effective and safe procedure. It could be used as an adjuvant therapy for renal carcinoma.
