PY - 2020 T2 - Smith & Tanagho's General Urology, 19e AB - Interventional uroradiologic procedures can be divided into two major groups: vascular and percutaneous nonvascular. Percutaneous nonvascular interventional procedures are discussed elsewhere. Regarding vascular interventions, transcatheter embolotherapy is frequently performed to treat urinary tract and pelvic hemorrhage. Embolization is also used for tumor devascularization, for the cessation of renal function, and for the treatment of testicular vein and ovarian vein varices. Balloon angioplasty and stenting of stenotic renal arteries may be performed for secondary hypertension refractory to medical therapy. Renal artery aneurysms may also be treated using catheter-directed techniques such as stent grafting and selective embolization. This chapter will review these and other intravascular interventions.
