Abstract
-
Prenephrectomy therapeutic renal artery embolization by injecting gelfoam into therenal artery was done in a 47 year-old female patient with hypernephroma. This technique facilitated nephrectomy and decreased blood loss. A post-infarction syndrome characterized by flank pain, fever and nausea also occurred in this patient. We report our experience herein with review of literature.
