Abstract
Preoperative embolization of the renal artery as a coadjuvant treatment option in high-risk renal neoplasia has clear technical benefits for the subsequent nephrectomy and also medical benefits for the patients. Performing both the procedures concomitantly as a single surgical act seems to retain the advantages of the embolization procedure, by reducing mortality rates and producing little associated morbidity. Technically, embolization with Amplatzer plugs seems to be faster and easier as compared with embolization with coils.
