    Author: Iurin AG.
    Journal: Arkh Patol; 1996; 58(6):62-4. PubMed ID: 9139597.
    Abstract:
    The author reports a case of complication of chemoembolization of the kidney arterial bed used in the treatment of kidney carcinoma. The female patient died on the second day after the manipulation because of embolism of the small branches of the pulmonary artery by the particles of the embolisation mixture. The presence of the arterial-venous shunts in the tumor overlooked at the stage of angiography became the most probable cause of the embolism.
