Over a period of 2 years pre-operative embolization of the renal artery was carried out according to the method of Gianturco, which offers certain advantages over other methods of embolization, in 25 patients with renal tumours. The most important aims of pre-operative embolization of the renal artery were considered to be to prevent tumour cells from being flooded out and to be able to ligate the vena renalis first. Because of the clinical reaction to be expected the embolization should be performed immediately before the operation, which still allows the aims to be achieved. In our opinion embolization cannot replace pre-operative irradiation.
在两年时间里，按照吉安图尔科的方法，对25例肾肿瘤患者进行了术前肾动脉栓塞，该方法比其他栓塞方法具有某些优势。肾动脉术前栓塞最重要的目的被认为是防止肿瘤细胞溢出，并能够首先结扎肾静脉。由于预期的临床反应，栓塞应在手术前立即进行，这仍能实现上述目的。我们认为栓塞不能替代术前放疗。
