[Occlusion of the renal artery by intra-arterial injection of thrombin in a case of inoperable renal tumour (author's transl)].
In a 53-year-old man with an inoperable metastasizing renal carcinoma embolic occlusion of the renal circulation was achieved by injection of thrombin (600 NIH units) through a balloon catheter into the renal artery. With short-term administration of analgesics and under anti-biotic cover the post-embolic course ran without complications. The general condition of the patient is good and macrohaematuria had, at the time of the report, not recurred for two months.
