  • Title: [Endovascular treatment of hemorrhagic renal angiomyolipoma with platinum microcoils].
    Author: Beaujeux R, Oswald P, Lebras Y, Jahn C, Ansieau JP, Saussine C, Roy C, Jacqmin D, Bourjat P.
    Journal: Prog Urol; 1996 Jun; 6(3):424-8. PubMed ID: 8763699.
    Abstract:
    Haemorrhage is the major complication of renal angiomyolipoma and is classically treated surgically, but embolization constitutes an alternative treatment. Improvement of catheters and embolization materials now allows highly selective embolization. The authors present a case in which the use of a variable stiffness catheter and platinum microcoils allowed highly selective embolization of a haemorrhagic renal angiomyolipoma while preserving the functional renal parenchyma.
