Renal tumor infarction with absolute ethanol

FE Rabe, HY Yune, BD Richmond, and EC Klatte

Sixteen renal tumors were infarcted with intraarterial absolute ethanol. Renal tumor infarction was performed for one of three indications: for palliation of symptoms in patients with metastatic disease, as a preoperative measure to reduce blood loss during radical nephrectomy, or as a primary therapy in selected circumstances. In most cases, absolute ethanol was injected into the main renal artery through a balloon occlusion catheter. In all cases, ethanol produced effective infarction of the renal tumor. Only one complication developed, a perinephric abscess that developed several weeks after the infarction. Results indicate that absolute ethanol is a safe and effective agent for the infarction of renal tumors.
