On ten cases of renal cancer, transcatheter embolization was performed by using gelfoam preparations labeled with a hemoclip which we devised. This method is effective in preventing the emboli from scattering outside the renal artery. The scattering is the most serious complication that occurs in transcatheter embolization. This method we employed offers the following advantages: 1) By fluoroscopic monitoring, the location of labeled gelfoam can be confirmed easily without a contrast medium. 2) At embolization with this technique, it is possible to observe the migration speed of the emboli, the renal blood flow, and the result of renal embolization. 3) Since a metal clip is attached as a weight to light gelfoam, gelfoam preparations can be handled with ease. 4) The regression of the kidney after embolization can be observed objectively without difficulty.
