Superselective Embolization of Renal Angiomyolipoma
Abstract
- PURPOSE
Authors retrospectively evaluated the efficacy of superselective renal arterial emboliation in 5 patients with symptomatic renal angiomyolipoma.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Five Patients with renal angiomyolipoma who had been treated with superselective renal arterial embolization were analysed retrospectively. Two patients who had multiple bilateral lesions were associated with tuberous sclerosis. The mbolic materials used were absolute alcohol in 6 sessions, absolute alcohol mixed with lipiodol in one session, and polyvinyl alcohol in one session.
RESULTS
We could observe devascularization of the tumor on the post-embolization arteriograms. The symptoms such as flank pain were improved in all patients during the follow-up period of 3 months to 3years.
CONCLUSION
Superselective renal arterial embolization is an effective and safe procedure in the management of renal angiomyolipomas.
