Abstract
Introduction: Renal artery embolization is a minimally invasive X-ray endovascular operation that is used in the treatment of various urological diseases. This operation is of increasing interest due to its ability to occlude not only proximal, but also distal renal vessels with a low risk of complications. Recent developments in endovascular technology make embolization one of the effective and safe methods applicable to stop renal bleeding, preoperative preparation for surgical treatment of renal malignant tumors, and first-line treatment for angiomyolipomas. For a certain category of patients, renal artery embolization is practically no alternative method of treatment. This applies to comorbid patients with kidney tumors and aggravated somatic status, in whom the anesthetic risk makes open or laparoscopic surgical treatment impossible, and embolization can reduce symptoms, improve the quality of life of such patients and prolong the patient's life.Clinical case: we demonstrate the experience of X-ray surgical treatment of cT1aN0M0 left kidney cancer in an 80-year-old patient.Conclusion: Embolization of renal arteries in some cases can be an effective and safe alternative treatment for renal cell carcinoma in somatically burdened patients who cannot perform surgical treatment.
