[Arterio-venous angioma of the kidney: embolisation and two year follow-up (author's transl)].
Successful embolisation of an arteriovenous angioma of the kidney with gel foam suspension is described, with a two year follow-up. Embolisation cured hypertension, which had otherwise resisted treatment, and stopped haematuria. The need for careful follow-up is stressed with long-term observations using both angiography and scintigraphy of the affected kidney. The intra-arterial embolisation with gel foam resulted in a redistribution of blood-flow which led to complete success of treatment even thought the vascular malformation had not been totally obliterated.
