[Renal abscess: complication of transcatheter arterial embolization of renal cell carcinoma].
Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) has been widely used in the treatment of tumors as well as other lesions of the kidney. Complications most commonly encountered are post embolization syndrome, such as flank pain, fever, leucocytosis, nausea, vomiting, or ileus. They occur mostly in 24 to 48 hours and its treatment is symptomatic. We experienced a renal abscess developed in a patient of renal tumor with preexisting silent urosepsis. Precise examination of silent infection is recommended as a preprocedure test to avoid such complications.
