title: [Transcatheter arterial embolization of renal carcinoma with absolute ethanol].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) of renal carcinoma using absolute ethanol so as to reduce bleeding for a higher resection rate, as a palliative treatment for advanced renal carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  Using Seldinger method, we treated 25 cases of renal carcinoma with transcatheter arterial embolization.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The average bleeding of 25 cases during nephrectomy was 210ml after TAE. There was no mortality and serious complication. But there was pain and fever in most cases.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  TAE with absolute ethanol is an effective, safe and easy procedure. It could be used as an adjuvant therapy for renal carcinoma.
