Investigative Urology

Abstract

To study the effectiveness of clot embolization in the control of renal hemorrhage, lower pole trauma was applied to 12 pigs, after which autologous clot at varying volumes was injected per catheter into the segmental artery. Renal infarction resulted in all animals and its degree clearly related to the volume of clot embolized. Embolized clot controlled hemorrhage in all cases regardless of volume used.
