Reduction of the vascular bed of the tumors shortened operative time and simplified the procedure. In the future these patients, along with others, will be followed to determine if reduction of tumor size by necrosis will alter the immune mechanism of the metastases. Even our small series and short followup illustrate that embolization is a simple and logical extension of diagnostic catheterization. © 1975 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetailsCited ByKrishnan E, Mebust W, Weigel J and Jewell W (2018) Culture of Peripheral Monocytes in Vitro in Patients with Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Possible Prognostic IndicatorJournal of Urology, VOL. 130, NO. 3, (597-601), Online publication date: 1-Sep-1983.McDonald M (2018) Current Therapy for Renal Cell CarcinomaJournal of Urology, VOL. 127, NO. 2, (211-217), Online publication date: 1-Feb-1982.Sullivan M, Rösch J and Hodges C (2018) Angiographic Infarction of a Large Hypernephroma with a Tissue Adhesive for Control of HematuriaJournal of Urology, VOL. 118, NO. 5, (863-864), Online publication date: 1-Nov-1977.Nieh P, Waltman A and Althausen A (2018) Therapeutic Embolization of Symptomatic Secondary Renal TumorsJournal of Urology, VOL. 117, NO. 3, (378-380), Online publication date: 1-Mar-1977.Turini D, Nicita G, Fiorelli C, Selli C and Villari N (2018) Selective Transcatheter Arterial Embolization of Renal Carcinoma: An Original TechniqueJournal of Urology, VOL. 116, NO. 4, (419-421), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1976.Turner R (2018) CommentJournal of Urology, VOL. 116, NO. 4, (421-421), Online publication date: 1-Oct-1976.
