Selective transcatheter arterial embolization of renal carcinoma: an original technique.
The association of pharmaco-angiography with norepinephrine and transcatheter arterial embolization is a technique used to obstruct arteries invaded by renal carcinoma. We treated 4 patients with this method before nephrectomy and recommend its use as a complement to an operation for renal carcinoma or as definitive treatment in poor surgical candidates.
