Background: Renal artery embolization is a procedure that has been shown to be useful as a concomitant treatment for the resection of large renal tumors. Over the years, preoperative renal artery embolization concomitant with nephrectomy as a treatment option has proved to be useful in reducing morbi-mortality rates; however this procedure is not exempt from significant iatrogenia.
