[Embolization therapy of renal hemorrhage of non-malignant etiology (author's transl)]

Superselective embolization of renal hemorrhage of benign etiology proves to be an effective method with rare complications and low morbidity, which allows to stop the bleeding in almost all of the cases. Two of our own cases are compared to 24 in the literature; and the results are discussed. This type of embolization is indicated mainly in cases with surgically uncontrollable renal hemorrhage and rarely as an alternative to surgical intervention.
