From: Renal function after partial nephrectomy following intra-arterial embolization of renal tumors
44-year-old woman operated on for right kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (pT1a, complete resection). (a) Selective arteriography shows a tumoral blush at the lower pole of right kidney (arrows). (b) After embolization, the renal arteriography shows complete tumoral devascularization (arrows) with minimal defect (arrowhead) of the peri-tumoral renal parenchyma. (c) Pre-operative CT scan shows the lower polar tumor (arrowhead). (d) Sagittal sections of a tubular time CT scan 6 months post-operatively show the operating area with minimal cortical thinning (arrow) and hyperdense embolization material (arrowhead).
