Repeat selective embolization of solitary kidney with renal cell carcinoma: case report.

Massive bleeding in a patient with metastatic carcinoma of a solitary kidney may be controlled with transcatheter embolization. Selective occlusion may be done sparing renal parenchyma uninvolved by tumor and avoiding dialysis. We report a case of successful repeated selective embolizations with an excellent quality of life for 18 months.
