  • Title: [Prolonged contrast of kidney tumors using an oily x-ray contrast medium].
    Author: Ryzkov VK, Anisimov VN.
    Journal: Radiol Diagn (Berl); 1990; 31(5):499-503. PubMed ID: 2177559.
    Abstract:
    In 194 patients with tumourous kidney disease an angiographic investigation with the oily x-ray contrast medium Iodolipol was carried out. A selective tropism of oily-x-ray contrast media was found that was only retained in zones of malignant disease. The application of the preparation caused no complications. The oily x-ray contrast medium persisted in the tumours over several weeks or months. After embolization of the renal artery a moderate size reduction of malignant tumours in the first 10-14 d was seen. The ability of Iodolipol for a lasting retainment in malignant tumour tissue allows a follow-up of the involution of the pathologic focus after arterial embolization of the tumour vessels.
