title: [Treatment of renal arteriovenous fistula by means of embolization using a fibrin sponge].
abstract: The selective embolization with fibrin sponge has controlled the persistent hematuria subsequent to a great renal arteriovenous post-operative fistula whereby the kidney recovered immediately after the embolization its normal functioning. A control arteriograph realized six weeks later showed the recanalization of the vessels, without any evidence of fistula. In another case, the renal massive hematuria after a percutaneous renal biopsy which produced a state of acute anemia was treated with the same method. The angiographic control showed the disappearance of the fistula, with a small ischemia zone distant from the embolized zone.
