In the treatment of massive hematuria after renal biopsy, selective percutaneous vaso-occlusion with detachable balloons is an effective alternative to urological surgery, as demonstrated in the case of a 39-year-old man. A review of the literature, which records success rate of more than 90% in nonmalignant renal hemorrhage, confirms the therapeutic value of the various parenchyma-sparing embolization techniques.
