Abstract: Clinically,renal angiomyolipoma(RAML)is a commonly-seen benign tumor of the kidney.Usually,it is accidentally found by physical examination or when the clinical relevant symptoms occur due to tumor rupture with bleeding or the tumor size becomes enlarged.Selective arterial embolization(SAE)has become the primary treatment for RAML.SAE can be used as a first-line treatment option in acute rupture with bleeding of RAML.Moreover,SAE is safe and effective in preventing RAML bleeding and other serious complications,which has already been proved.This review focuses on the indications and contraindications for SAE treatment of RAML,selection of embolization materials,evaluation of efficacy,complications and their prevention and treatment,etc.(J Intervent Radiol,2024,33:560-564)
