| pubmed:abstractText |
Four patients with a solitary vertebral metastasis from a renal cell carcinoma presented with acute spinal cord or nerve root compression. Because of the markedly hypervascular nature of the metastases it was decided to palliate the lesions by transarterial catheter embolization. The embolization reduced the venous blood pool within the tumors, resulting in progressive neurological improvement often lasting for 12 weeks or more. With such palliation, surgical decompression may be obviated, postponed, or at least made manageable.
