[Renal cancer embolization with isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate. Experimental study and first clinical applications (author's transl)].

Isobutyl-2-cyanoacrylate (IBC) is an acrylic monomer which quickly polymerizes in contact with blood. It has been rarely used as an embolic material and never in embolization of renal cancer. The authors report their experience on the use of this substance as embolic material, based on an experimental study in the rat and on two human cases of renal cancer, where a preoperative transcatheter embolization was performed. IBC revealed as a substance which can produce a very efficient and lasting embolization. No complications were observed.

[Treatment of bladder hemorrhages due to inoperable pelvic cancers by embolization of the hypogastric arteries (author's transl)].

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.

[Wide abdominothoracic approach for a tumor on the superior pole of a horseshoe kidney; supra and subumbilical median and anterolateral oblique thoraco-phrenic laparotomy (author's transl)].

The development of a tumor on the superior pole of a horseshoe kidney is an event which, although rare, still presents the surgeon very specific problems related to the anatomy of the malformation. The presence of a parenchymal pons, the multiplicity and anomalies in the origin of arteries are all factors to be taken into consideration in the selection of a surgical procedure. It is of particular importance that the approach be very wide in order to combine the advantages of the trans-peritoneal approach with that of the thoraco-phrenic laparotomy. One case is presented, and the surgical solution is discussed.
