title: Labelled gelfoam in transcatheter arterial embolization of renal cell carcinoma.
abstract: Six patients with renal cell carcinoma underwent transcatheter arterial embolization with Gelfoam labelled by metallic clips. The embolization procedure was more easily monitored by fluoroscopy, and the complication of peripheral embolization was prevented. Tumor regression can be evaluated by changes in the distribution of the metallic clips on plain films.
