3 % of patients. There was no procedure related mortality. One patient developed transient monoparesis which recovered in one day and another patient who underwent BAE of multiple vessels on multiple occasions due to recurrence of hemoptysis developed transient urinary retention possibly due to bladder paresis. Transient chest pain was a common complaint especially with the use of ionic contrast media with a few patients continuing to have minor chest pain for a few hours. Three patients complained of pain in the eyes but had no visual loss.

When the goal is total renal infarction or total obliteration of blood supply to tumors which occupy most of the renal parenchyma, total renal artery embolization techniques should be preferred. This is achieved by positioning the catheter within the main renal artery but distal to the ostium to minimize reflux into the aorta and cause spinal, lower extremity, and bowel infarction. Embolization of small arterial branches with alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles, microspheres, and/or Gelfoam is performed until there is contrast stasis in the targeted kidney.

In addition, there are reported cases of renal arteries arising from a common trunk and from the contralateral renal artery. Embryologically, this wide variation in anatomy can be explained by the incomplete involution of the mesonephric arteries, which form a network of arteries during development. Accessory renal arteries, when present, enter the renal hilum and may perfuse the upper or lower renal poles (Fig. 2a–c). Most commonly, the accessory artery perfuses the lower pole and may be of clinical importance as it may cause obstruction by passing anterior to the uretero pelvic junction.
