title: [Transcatheter hypogastric embolization in life-threatening bladder hemorrages: immediate and long-term results (author's transl)].
abstract: Transcatheter embolization of the hypogastric arteries has become a more and more largely used therapeutic approach in mastering unrestrainable hemorrages in bladder cancer patients. In this paper the Authors report their experience with this method based on 9 cases, which could be followed for 1 year or until patient's death. The immediate and long-term results are presented and discussed. The Authors conclude that transcatheter hypogastric embolization is the best non-invasive method to handle neoplastic pelvic hemorrages.
