title: Subselective embolization for non-neoplastic conditions of the kidney.
abstract: Three patients in our institution underwent subselective arterial embolization for treatment of intractable renal hemorrhage. In all three patients control of bleeding was obtained. The only complication encountered was a non-occlusive dissection of a segmental renal branch in one patient. Although some tissue infarction will result, less renal parenchyma will be lost than is the case with surgical treatment.
