Abstract
During a low translumbar aortogram, a kidney was damaged leading to uncontrollable haematuria. The damaged segmental artery was selectively occluded by the injection of butyl-2-cyanoacrylate through a catheter. Bleeding stopped immediately, thereby avoiding a nephrectomy which had been planned. The complications and potential hazards of therapeutic embolisation are discussed.
