Appearance of gas in renal tissue after therapeutic embolization.
We present a case of therapeutic embolization in a patient with adenocarcinoma who demonstrated the presence of gas in the renal infarcted tissue on the second day. The pattern of air distribution was intravascular. There was no sign of abscess clinically or radiographically. To the syndrome of postembolization we add a new sign--the presence of postembolization air.
