Preoperative glue embolization of renal cell carcinoma before nephrectomy in 69-year-old man.
A. Selective renal arteriogram: large vascular tumor in lower-pole of left kidney.
B. Control angiogram after embolization of entire renal artery using radiopaque cyanoacrylate/Lipiodol mixture (1:3): complete occlusion of renal artery allows minimal intraoperative blood loss and easier nephrectomy.
