Preoperative embolization has been used as a complementary intervention to facilitate surgical resection of complex renal tumours. Our objective is to analyse surgical and clinical outcomes in those patients with renal artery embolization (RAE) previous to oncological surgery. MATERIAL & METHODS: A total of 1380 patients with diagnosis of RCC with VTT from 1972 to 2014 from 22 Centers in the United States and Europe were retrospectively analysed. We compare those patients undergoing surgery with or without previous RAE. A univariable analysis was performed for surgery time, intraoperative bleeding, number of blood units transfused, length of hospital stay and presence of complications. RESULTS: 256 patients out of 1380 underwent RAE prior to radical nephrectomy and tumour trombectomy.
Both groups characteristics are described in table 1:

Outcomes are summarized in table 2:

Median 269.5 365 1200 1600 3 5 11 16
p-value <0.001 =0.633 <0.001 <0.001
The presence of any kind of complication were 119 (70.8%) for RAE compared with 546 (58.6%) for patients wihout RAE, p=0.003. CONCLUSIONS: A longer hospital stay with a higher intraoperative bleeding, need of blood transfusion and presence of surgical complications are seen on preoperative RAE patients. Further analysis are needed to finally confirm this data.
