Abstract:
Renal infarction with ethanol was induced exprimentally in rabbits and selective renal angiography wasperformed to evaluate the effectiveness of ethanol as embolic material. The results were as follows; 1. Completeobstruction of renal artery was produced in all cases within 1 week after injection of absolute ethanol(0.5ml/kg). 2. Incomplete obstruction of renal artery was produced in majority after injection of absolute ethanol(0.2ml/kg) and changed to complete obstruction above half cases with time. 3. Incomplete obstruction of renalartery was produced in minority after injection of 60% ethanol (0.2ml/kg) and complete obstruction of renal arterywas not produced. It was considered that ethanol is an effective agent for complete renal infarction and 0.2 to0,5ml/kg of absolute ethanol is effective dose for complete renal infarction.
