Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Arterial embolization. This technique is used to block the artery that feeds the kidney that has the tumor. A small catheter (tube) is placed in an artery in the inner thigh and is moved up until it reaches the renal artery going from the aorta to the kidney. Catheter Embolization. 1 Catheter embolization places medications or synthetic materials called embolic agents through a catheter into a blood vessel to block blood flow to an area of the body. 2 Your doctor will instruct you on how to prepare, including any changes to your medication schedule. Sounds fine: Water isn't a burden on your kidneys. Only late in the course of kidney failure will there be a need to restrict, for the sake of the rest of your body. Hopefully that won't happen. Do look for a cause of your renal insufficiency other than your TS / lipomas. Implications for Patient Care. 1 In symptomatic patients with enlarged polycystic kidneys, TAE may provide a minimally invasive and effective alternative to surgery. 2 Worsening of anemia may occur, so increased doses of erythropoietin or darbepoetin at dialysis is essential to maintain adequate blood counts after TAE. Chemoembolization is not recommended in cases of severe liver or kidney dysfunction, abnormal blood clotting, prior surgery or stenting of the bile duct, or a blockage of the bile ducts. In some casesdespite liver dysfunctionchemoembolization may be done in small amounts and in several procedures to try and minimize the effect on the normal liver. Embolization is a procedure that injects substances to try to block or reduce the blood flow to cancer cells in the liver. The liver is unusual in that it has 2 blood supplies. Most normal liver cells are fed by branches of the portal vein, whereas cancer cells in the liver are usually fed by branches of the hepatic artery. Transarterial embolization for renal arterial bleeding Ertugrul Mavili, Halil Donmez, Nevzat Ozcan, Murat Sipahioglu, Abdullah Demirtas R enal vascular lesions may be secondary to blunt or penetrating trau-ma, iatrogenic injuries during a procedure or spontaneously with or without underlying pathology (1). In most cases renal injuries are Embolization or embolisation refers to the passage and lodging of an embolus within the bloodstream. It may be pathological, for example a pulmonary embolism, or therapeutic, as a hemostatic treatment for bleeding or as a treatment for some types of cancer by deliberately blocking blood vessels to starve the tumor cells. In the cancer management application, the embolus, besides blocking the blood supply to the tumor, also often includes an ingredient to attack the tumor chemically or with irrad Arterial embolization is done in the x-ray department of a hospital. The doctor places a thin tube (called a catheter) into the large blood vessel in the groin. The catheter is then moved up through the blood vessel, toward the abdomen, until it reaches the renal artery that supplies the kidney with blood. Introduced decades ago, percutaneous renal artery embolization (RAE) has become an alternative to surgery for the treatment of uncontrolled iatrogenic arterial kidney injuries because the procedure is minimally invasive, with a shorter duration of hospitalization required (1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Query: how is arterial embolization done on your kidney

Arterial embolization is done in the x-ray department of a hospital. The doctor places a thin tube into the large blood vessel in the groin. The catheter is then moved up through the blood vessel, toward the abdomen, until it reaches the renal artery that supplies the kidney with blood.
