| Popis: | Arterial embolization was performed in nine patients with metastases from renal carcinoma who had severe pain resistant to conventional therapy. Patients with metastases in the ilium (four), the lumbosacral spine (one), and the base of the skull (one) experienced pain relief lasting from one to six months. The other three patients, who had metastases in the proximal femur, underwent preoperative embolization to facilitate tumor curettage and internal hip fixation. No significant complications were seen with this therapeutic approach. |
