Preparation of poly (D,L) lactide microspheres by emulsion-solvent evaporation, and their clinical applications as a convenient embolic material.

The aim of preoperative embolization is to facilitate surgical removal by reducing tumor volume and vascularity, thereby decreasing blood loss during surgery. In a search for a better embolic material, compared to heterogeneous commercial products, we describe here in detail the preparation of poly (D,L) lactide microspheres by an emulsion-solvent evaporation process. The size distribution of the microparticles and their aggregation state--critical parameters in view of such application--have been investigated. Their effectiveness, as an embolic material, has been evaluated by some preliminary experiments undertaken on humans. The results were assessed on clinical and histological grounds.

Renal artery embolization with ethanol and gelfoam for the treatment of ureteric fistulae with one year follow-up.

Two patients with ureteric fistulae who were unfit for reconstructive surgery were treated by renal ablation using intra-arterial ethanol, gelfoam fragments and in one case coils. In both cases the fistulae dried-up on the same day and both patients are well and normotensive a year later. Our conclusion is that renal ablation by arterial embolization with ethanol can be a valuable alternative to surgery to treat ureteric fistulae in patients who are poor surgical risks.
