[The catheterembolisation for permanent occlusion of the renal artery--anaesthesiologic views (author's transl)].
Experiences with a new radiological technique, namely embolisation of the renal artery with a spiral from Gianturco, are reported. Continuous epidural block has been found to be the best method of anaesthetic management. The technique of embolisation was used in 17 patients. As a preoperative measure it facilitates tumournephrectomy, saves blood and reduces the danger of dissemination of tumour-cells during operation.
