- Abstract
The article discusses the use of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) to treat vascular complications following robot-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPN) for small renal masses. The study found that TAE was effective in resolving arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and pseudoaneurysms (PAs) in patients. The median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decreased slightly after TAE but remained within a normal range. The study also assessed the function of each renal unit separately using single-photon emission CT (SPECT)/CT and found that the treated kidneys maintained valuable renal function. The results suggest that TAE is a viable treatment option for vascular complications following RAPN, although the study has limitations.
