Overview
Surgery is not the first-line treatment option for patients with angiomyolipoma. Transcatheter arterial embolization is usually reserved for patients with complicated disease.[1]
Surgery
Angiomyolipoma do not normally require surgery unless there is life-threatening bleeding.
Transcatheter Arterial Embolization
- Proximal Embolization
- These are appropriate for the occlusion of a large lumen without distal migration
- Distal Embolization
- These are appropriate for the occlusion of a large lumen with distal migration
- Palliative Embolization
- Embolization in patients with end-stage renal disease

- Figures A-D: Angiographic runs showed a significantly ptosed right kidney, with supply to the large upper pole angiomyolipoma via tortuous artery arising from the superior division of the right renal artery.[2]
Embolization Procedure
- Selective catheterization of the branch supplying the angiomyolipoma is achieved via microcatheter
- Contrast is infused
- Embolization is usually performed using a 50:50 dilution of absolute alcohol in lipiodol
- A total of 12 mL is injected under careful angiographic observation to ensure no reflux to vessels supplying renal cortex
Partial Nephrectomy
Larger angiomyolipomas, that have been symptomatic, can be electively resected with a partial nephrectomy.[3] [4]ruptured angiomyolipoma combining the advantages both of a kidney preservation procedure and the benefits of a minimal invasive procedure without compromising the safety of the patient.Partial Nephrectomy
Complete Nephrectomy
Radiofrequency Ablation or Cyroablation
