Transcatheter embolization of the hypogastric arteries has become more and more widely used in the management of bladder hemorrages due to inoperable pelvic cancers. It is a not shocking technique for the patient, without major complications. However, if its immediate results can be defined as very good, its long-term effects are not well known. The purpose of this paper is to describe the Authors' experience on this matter, which is based on 9 cases of transcatheter embolization of the hypogastric arteries.

Abstract
Transcatheter embolization of the hypogastric arteries has become more and more widely used in the management of bladder hemorrages due to inoperable pelvic cancers. It is a not shocking technique for the patient, without major complications. However, if its immediate results can be defined as very good, its long-term effects are not well known. The purpose of this paper is to describe the Authors' experience on this matter, which is based on 9 cases of transcatheter embolization of the hypogastric arteries. The patients were followed for at least 1 year or, in some cases, until their death.File in questo prodotto:
