PURPOSE: The effectiveness of @entity8 (TAE) with a mixture of @entity1068 and iodized oil ( @entity4831 ) was analyzed retrospectively in 27 @entity1 with unresectable @entity1358 . METHODS: Symptomatic or permanent palliation by TAE was performed with the intent to achieve total or partial ablation of the kidney with 10-28 ml of embolic material in a 3:1 mixture of @entity1068 and iodized oil. Clinical, angiographic, and computed tomographic (CT) follow-up were analyzed. Cumulative survival was estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: Partial (5) or complete (22) ablation of the embolized kidneys was achieved in all cases. Follow-up CT after 1 month revealed @entity4831 uptake in the @entity5 area (14/14), decreased size of the @entity5 (6/14), and gas formation (7/14). Pulmonary metastasis improved significantly in one @entity1 after transcatheter arterial embolization and adjunctive chemotherapy. Overall median survival of the 27 @entity1 was 8.5 months. The median survival was 23 months in 10 @entity1 with stage III, three of whom are still alive, and was 7 months in 15 @entity1 with stage IV @entity5 . CONCLUSION: The mixture of @entity1068 and @entity4831 is not only a convenient embolic material to use, but is also effective for selective or nonselective devascularization for unresectable @entity1358 .
