Presentation
Prophylactic renal angiomyolipoma embolization. Planning for pregnancy.
Patient Data
Digital subtraction angiography of the right renal artery (selective and superselective) demonstrating the contrast-enhancing large AML of the midpole of the right kidney.
Digital subtraction angiography of the right renal artery post-embolization shows no enhancement of AML, indicating the successful embolization procedure.
Case Discussion
Angiomyolipoma embolization is a cutting-edge interventional radiology technique that treats kidney tumors without invasive surgery. The primary goal of this technique is to reduce blood flow to the tumor by using specialized materials that block the relevant blood vessels. This procedure is an effective and safe alternative to traditional surgery.
