Abstract
Angioinfarction of renal tumors has been proposed as a preoperative adjunct and as palliative therapy. Most side effects of angioinfarction are transient and are well tolerated by the patient. We report a case of fatal pulmonary embolus resulting from migration of an intracaval tumor thrombus following renal arterial embolization.
