Superselective embolisation of bilateral superior vesical arteries for management of intractable hematuria in context of metastatic bladder cancer

چکیده
Hematuria due to locally advanced or metastatic bladder cancer is a common condition and is often a management problem. Percutaneous embolisation is a mini-invasive option to handle this situation. We report a case of a patient with a metastatic bladder cancer and who presented with an abundant hematuria and severe anemia. After failure of endoscopic resections and "flush" of radiotherapy haemostatic and refusal of cystectomy by the patient, he was treated by superselective embolisation of bilateral superior bladder arteries with excellent immediate results. The technique is safe and effective in the short term. The long-term effectiveness requires further investigation.

INTRODUCTION The hematuria, one of the main motives of urologic consultations, is produced by an extensive number of urinary pathologies from infections to cancer. The management of hematuria can require the action of Interventional Radiology in those cases in which the pathology is outside of surgery therapy. This is an approximation less invasive for the management of this pathology. MATERI...
