Abstract
Unilateral or bilateral embolisation of the internal iliac artery was effected in nine patients with incontrollable bleeding due to bladder tumour or invasion of a tumour into the bladder, or as a result of massive alterations of the urinary bladder caused by radiation exposure. A clearly superior haemostasis was achieved via bilateral embolisation (in 4 out of 5 patients) compared with unilateral embolisation (2 of 4 patients). Side effects were observed in two-thirds of the cases (elevated temperature, transient pareses and pain in the gluteal and leg regions).
