Renal artery embolization with ethanol and gelfoam for the treatment of ureteric fistulae with one year follow-up
Copyright policy )Renal artery embolization with ethanol and gelfoam for the treatment of ureteric fistulae with one year follow-up
Two patients with ureteric fistulae who were unfit for reconstructive surgery were treated by renal ablation using intra-arterial ethanol, gelfoam fragments and in one case coils. In both cases the fistulae dried-up on the same day and both patients are well and normotensive a year later. Our conclusion is that renal ablation by arterial embolization with ethanol can be a valuable alternative to surgery to treat ureteric fistulae in patients who are poor surgical risks.
