Abstract
In a series 49 embolizations of 30 renal carcinomas, of which 21 were later nephrectomized, the early results of embolization with Gelfoam or absolute ethanol were compared. Embolization with absolute ethanol, using Citanest renal anaesthesia and a balloon occlusion catheter was significantly (p < 0.001) more effective, and also caused significantly (p < 0.05) less nausea or vomiting and almost significantly (p < 0.10) less pain, compared with Gelfoam embolization.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
