Abstract |
The authors report 2 patients with recurrent retroperitoneal neoplasms in whom ureteral fistulas were treated successfully by percutaneous transcatheter embolization of the renal artery with absolute ethanol. Angio-occlusive nephrectomy is suggested as an alternative to surgical nephrectomy in seriously ill and high-risk patients to preserve their quality of life.
