[Treatment of iatrogenic renal vascular lesions using selective renal embolization].
Two patients--one man (62 years) and one woman (69 years) with a iatrogenic renal arterial lesion were treated by percutaneous embolization. Both patients had undergone percutaneous nephrolitholapaxy. Both developed massive haematuria after surgery. Because haematuria could not be controlled by conservative means, angiography was indicated and subsequent superselective embolization of the bleeding artery. In both patients Gelfoam particles were used. The operation was without complications in both patients and produced a prompt effect. Within 4 months after operation no relapse developed. The authors did not observe an adverse effect associated with embolization.
