An experimental study on renal infarction with ethanol

Abstract

Renal infarction with ethanol was induced exprimentally in rabbits and selective renal angiography wasperformed to evaluate the effectiveness of ethanol as embolic material. The results were as follows; 1. Completeobstruction of renal artery was produced in all cases within 1 week after injection of absolute ethanol(0.5ml/kg). 2. Incomplete obstruction of renal artery was produced in majority after injection of absolute ethanol(0.2ml/kg) and changed to complete obstruction above half cases with time. 3. Incomplete obstruction of renalartery was produced in minority after injection of 60% ethanol (0.2ml/kg) and complete obstruction of renal arterywas not produced. It was considered that ethanol is an effective agent for complete renal infarction and 0.2 to0,5ml/kg of absolute ethanol is effective dose for complete renal infarction.
