BACKGROUND: @entity8 ( @entity8 ) is one of the adjunctive methods in the treatment of @entity703 . Embolization is performed in @entity1 prior to nephrectomy, in @entity1 with inoperable @entity703 as palliative treatment. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the study was to present and to analyze our own experiences in the embolization of @entity703 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: A  retrospective analysis of 33  @entity1 treated using @entity8 between 2011 and 2013 was carried out. In 30 cases (91%), embolization was performed due to @entity703 and in 3 cases (9%) due to @entity359 . In 11  @entity1 intervention was performed as a  palliative procedure because of @entity1442 . Histoacrylic glue, @entity4832 , sponge pledgets and embolization coils were used for embolization. RESULTS: In 20  @entity1 (61%), selective @entity8 was performed, whereas superselective @entity8 was carried out in 13  @entity1 (39%). The technical success rate of @entity8 was 100%. In one case the procedure was complicated by reflux of the histoacrylic glue into the common femoral artery with its embolization that required surgical embolectomy. We used histoacrylic glue in 26 embolizations (79%), in 19 procedures (58%) as the only embolization agent. @entity4832 was used in 10 procedures (30%), gelatin sponge pledgets and absolute @entity1068 in 6  @entity1 (18%). In 4 cases (12%), coils were implemented. In 22  @entity1 (67%), one or more components of @entity751 ( @entity751 ) developed. In all 22  @entity1 with @entity751 (100%), @entity158 was observed and administration of analgesics proved necessary. In 10  @entity1 treated by palliative embolization, both a  regression of macrohaematuria and an increase in hemoglobin level were observed. In 10 further @entity1 , the @entity1011 level decreased following @entity8 . CONCLUSIONS: @entity8 is an effective and minimally-invasive intervention burdened with low risk of major complications. @entity751 occurs in about two-third of @entity1 . In the majority of @entity1 after palliative embolization, haematuria decreases and the quality of life improves.
