[Effect and complications of embolization therapy using absolute ethanol for renal arteriovenous malformation].
Transcatheter embolization therapy using absolute ethanol was accomplished in six patients with renal arteriovenous malformation. The effect of this therapy was considered to be good, because none of the patients has experienced recurrent hematuria. It is necessary to avoid the back flow of absolute ethanol. One patient had the particular complication of hydronephrosis caused by the incidental injection of absolute ethanol into the ureteral artery.
