[Successful intra-arterial embolization of bleeding carcinoma of the prostate (author's transl)].
The very first case of successful therapeutic embolization for hematuria from carcinoma of the prostate is presented. In a 76-year-old patient with necrotic carcinoma of the prostate, stage D transurethral operations showed no success. By selective intra-arterial embolization via the internal iliac arteries (using Gelfoam), hematuria could be stopped definitely and did not occur any more. Follow-up study showed no complications or necrosis in this procedure.
