Abstract
Treatment of post-traumatic renal haemorrhage by percutaneous embolization in 9 patients is reported. Successful control of haematuria was achieved in 8 patients and 1 patient was referred for surgery. The arteriographic findings and technique are described. One patient developed hypertension but there were no other complications. Super-selective renal arterial embolism can provide definitive therapy in renal trauma, and major surgery may be avoided in most cases.
