Technical and clinical success rates were calculated, and arteriogram findings and complications were detected.Results: Embolization was performed 24 times in 23 patients. Technical success was achieved in 24/24(100%)embolization procedures. Contrast agent extravasation was detected during 2 of the 24 angiographic procedures.Bilateral embolization was performed in 23(95.8%) of the 24 procedures. The clinical success rate was 21/23(91.3%), and hematuria stopped 1–4 days after TAE. No serious complications were observed.Conclusion: TAE is a safe and effective minimally invasive technique for treating patients with RHPO.展开更多
