    Transcatheter embolisation of hypernephroma can facilitate surgery for large tumors and palliate symptoms like hematuria. However, its benefits for smaller tumors are unclear, and risks necessitate restricted use.

    Area of Science:

    • Interventional Radiology
    • Nephrology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Hypernephroma (renal cell carcinoma) often presents with significant vascularity.
    • Transcatheter embolisation is a minimally invasive technique used in managing renal tumors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of transcatheter embolisation in patients with hypernephroma.
    • To assess its role in facilitating surgery and palliative care.

    Main Methods:

    • Transcatheter embolisation was performed in 16 patients with hypernephroma using various agents.
    • Thirteen patients subsequently underwent nephrectomy.
    • The procedure was also used palliatively in three patients.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Surgery was facilitated in four patients with large hypervascular tumors, including three with vena caval occlusion.
    • Embolisation did not benefit patients with small or moderately vascular tumors.
    • Palliative embolisation stopped hematuria in two patients and resolved high-output heart failure in one.

    Conclusions:

    • Transcatheter embolisation is beneficial for preparing large, hypervascular hypernephromas for surgery.
    • It can be a valuable palliative option for inoperable patients with severe symptoms like hematuria.
    • The technique carries risks and its impact on survival remains uncertain.
