Management of Hemorrhage Secondary to Renal Angiomyolipoma with Selective Arterial Embolization

Abstract

Percutaneous transcatheter arterial embolization was used to manage renal hemorrhage secondary to a human angiomyolipoma in a solitary kidney. Angiography 3 mo. after embolization showed a marked decrease in the mass and vascularity. There was no evidence of hypertension or renal failure following embolization.
