[Renal artery embolization in treating tumorous diseases of the kidneys]

Indications, complications, advantages and limitations of different procedures for renal artery embolisation used in treatment of kidney tumors are discussed. Four case reports on renal tissue embolisation by means of administration of barium sulfate suspension are presented. The procedure is not complicated, reliable and the results of its application are irreversible. Use of barium sulfate suspension for embolisation of inoperable tumors of kidney is substantiated.
