    Preoperative renal artery embolization using 95% ethyl alcohol is a safe, effective, and easy alternative to solid materials for devitalizing kidneys with tumors before nephrectomy.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Interventional Radiology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Preoperative embolization of renal arteries is standard for renal cell carcinoma treatment.
    • Conventional solid embolic materials can be difficult to handle and may require specialized equipment.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 95% ethyl alcohol as an embolic agent for renal tumor devitalization.
    • To assess the feasibility of using ethyl alcohol embolization as a simpler alternative to traditional methods.

    Main Methods:

    • Three patients with renal tumors underwent preoperative embolization of renal arteries using 95% ethyl alcohol.
    • The procedure was performed in conjunction with epidural anesthesia.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • 95% ethyl alcohol proved to be a safe, effective, and easy-to-use embolic agent.
    • The alcohol embolization was well-tolerated by patients.
    • Complete and organ-limited destructive effect on the targeted kidney tumors was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • 95% ethyl alcohol is a viable and advantageous alternative for preoperative renal artery embolization in renal cell carcinoma treatment.
    • This method offers a simpler, well-tolerated, and effective approach to devitalizing renal tumors.
