[Extraordinary indication for transcatheter embolization of the kidney (author's transl)].

A report is given on a case of ureterocutaneous fistula in consequences of a stenosis of the pelvic ureter, successfully treated by transcatheter embolization of the left kidney. The embolization was preferred to nephrectomy because of the poor clinical condition of the patient. Butyl-2-Cyanoacrylate has been found to be a suitable embolization material.
