F E Rabe, H Y Yune, B D Richmond

    AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
    |December 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Absolute ethanol effectively infarcted renal tumors in 16 patients. This safe and effective treatment was used for palliation, preoperative reduction of blood loss, or primary therapy, with minimal complications.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Renal tumors present treatment challenges.
    • Tumor infarction is a potential therapeutic option.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of intraarterial absolute ethanol for renal tumor infarction.
    • To assess the utility of this procedure for palliation, preoperative management, or primary therapy.

    Main Methods:

    • Sixteen renal tumors were treated with intraarterial absolute ethanol.
    • Ethanol was delivered via a balloon occlusion catheter in the main renal artery.
    • Indications included palliation, preoperative blood loss reduction, and primary therapy.

    Main Results:

    • Absolute ethanol effectively infarcted all treated renal tumors.
    • The procedure demonstrated a high success rate in achieving tumor necrosis.
    • A single complication, a perinephric abscess, occurred several weeks post-infarction.

    Conclusions:

    • Intraarterial absolute ethanol is a safe and effective agent for renal tumor infarction.
    • The technique is versatile, applicable to various clinical scenarios.
    • Further research may explore its role in comprehensive renal tumor management.
