Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate transcatheter arter ia l embolization(TAE) on congenital renal arteriovenous malformation(RAVM).MethodsFive cases of RAVM,diagnosed on digital substraction a ngiography have been treated between March 1995 and May 2002 by transarterial em bolization (TAE) with different embolic agents (ethanol,iodised oil,gelform part icles or metalic coils).The efficacy was evaluated.ResultsIn all the 5 cases,gross hematuria was controlled immediately after TAE,th e urine turned clear in 24 h and urinalysis became normal in 7 days.The patients have been followed up for 6～12 months with an average of 10 months with hematu r ia well controlled in all.There has been no hypertension or apparent renal funct ion damage.Bilateral renal emission computed tomography (ECT) reveated only some local loss of the renal cortical function on the concerned side.ConclusionsAt present renal arteriography is still the most reliable method in the diagnosis of RAVM.TAE has the benefits of less inva sive, a low incidence of complications, early resumption of normal activities an d shorter hospital stay,and can avoid renal resection and correlative surgical c omplications.The renal function could be well protected from harm.
