Abstract:
Kidney enlargement in autosomal-dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) may cause symptoms by compressing the alimentary tract, lungs, and heart. The clinical symptoms may be progressive, may markedly decrease quality of life, and may even be life-threatening. Although treatment of this disease is often difficult, transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with metallic coils has been reported as a renal contraction therapy that is less invasive than surgery. The present report describes a case of ADPKD successfully treated by TAE with absolute ethanol after a previous TAE procedure with metallic coils failed to contract the affected kidneys because of recanalization.
