Abstract:
A method of preoperative intraluminal occlusion of the renal artery in cases of kidney tumors using a 5F Swan-Ganz ballon catheter is presented. The procedure was used in 26 tumor nephrectomies without complications and resulted in marked facilitation of the operation in 70 per cent of the cases.
