Abstract
The concept of treating benign angiomatous malformations by filling them with an inert occluding silicone rubber cast is presented. Preliminary animal experiments with such a preparation are described. Kidneys were embolized in eight dogs; the absence of systemic toxicity or local tissue reaction is stressed and potential clinical applications are considered.
