Popis: Arterial occlusion of the internal iliac artery was successful in the relief of pain due to primary and secondary neoplasms of the bony pelvis in 8 of 9 patients. These included 3 giant cell tumors, 1 aneurysmal bone cyst, 1 recurrent chondrosarcoma, 3 metastatic renal cell carcinoma and 1 metastatic clear cell sarcoma. Calcification of the margin of the lesion occurred in 3 of 4 primary neoplasms after infarction. The transcatheter arterial occlusion was accomplished utilizing Gelfoam and stainless steel coils. Although most patients experienced pain and fever for several days following the procedure, no permanent sequelae or complications were encountered.
