[Computer tomography following renal tumour embolisation (author's transl)].
CT examination of eight patients after palliative embolisation of a malignant renal tumour showed a distinct reduction in renal size, beginning after a week and lasting for two or three months. In the patients who survived for more than six to twelve months, the tumor increased in size, as was shown by an increase of tumour volume and tumour revascularisation which could also be demonstrated by computer tomography. Gas in the tumour after embolisation was seen in four out of six cases within the first week and in another case it persisted for five months, without evidence of the presence of a renal abscess or urinary sepsis.
