  		Fig. 3C —24-year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis who had undergone right nephrectomy because of uncontrolled bleeding angiomyolipoma. Preventive embolization of angiomyolipoma in left kidney was performed. Follow-up angiogram 60 months after first embolization shows hypertrophic capsular artery (arrow) supplying angiomyolipoma. Lesion was embolized with ethanol-polyvinyl alcohol mixture and minicoil.
