Abstract
We discuss our experiences with the embolisation bleeding treatment in 12 patients with inoperable tumours of the urinary bladder, of the prostatic gland and other organs localised within the small pelvis. The digital subtraction angiography of common and internal iliac arteries was provided in all patients from the brachial approach to assess the morphology of vessel supply and was followed by bilateral embolisation using Gelaspon emboli and metallic spirals.
The bleeding cessation occurred immediately or during a couple of days after embolisation in 11 patients. The transient postembolisation syndrome characterised by nausea, vomiting, temperature elevation and pelvic pain was observed in 4 patients.
We have not observed any severe complication.
