[Angiotherapeutic embolization of the internal iliac arteries in recurrent bleeding of the urinary bladder using balloon-tipped catheters (author's transl)].
In 9 patients having carcinoma of the urinary bladder and recurrent untreatable hematuria (n = 5), cystitis following radiation-therapy (n = 3) or Endoxan-Cystitis (n = 1), a transcatheter palliative embolization was performed. By aid of the flow guided transport of balloon-tipped catheters both internal iliac arteries were occluded via the transfemoral route in one session under local anaesthesia. The following embolizing substances were used: particulate Fibrospum und Tachotop and the semiliquid aminoacid Ethibloc. Safe embolization was obtained under protection of the inflated Latex balloon and by insertion of via a catheter sheath introducing system. A painless angiographic documentation during and after angiography was obtained using a new low osmolar contrast medium.
