Embolisation of hypernephromas: a simple technique using ethanol.
Experience of the embolisation of hypernephromas with 95% ethanol is described in 10 patients. An initial technique using 95% ethanol diluted with contrast has been modified. A single injection of 15 ml of undiluted 95% ethanol through a balloon occlusion catheter is now recommended. We conclude that this is a quick, easy and safe method of embolising hypernephromas.
