Superselective Renal Artery Embolization for Renal Angiomyolipoma
Russia50 participantsStarted 2026-04-06
Plain-language summary
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of selective endovascular embolization in the treatment of renal angiomyolipoma (AML). Materials and Methods: A prospective analysis will be conducted on patients who undergo transcatheter renal artery embolization for renal angiomyolipoma. Inclusion criteria will be radiologically confirmed angiomyolipoma based on CT and/or MRI findings and the presence of clinical indications for embolization. The primary outcomes will include the assessment of changes in serum creatinine and hemoglobin levels post-procedure, technical success rates, and the incidence of any complications. Expected Results: Data on patient demographics, tumor characteristics, and procedural outcomes will be collected and analyzed. Conclusion: This study aims to determine whether selective endovascular embolization is a safe and effective treatment modality for renal angiomyolipoma, with the expectation of demonstrating a high rate of technical success while preserving renal function.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
Renal angiomyolipoma confirmed by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging; Indications for surgical treatment (episodes of acute or recurrent bleeding, large tumor size, high risk of abdominal trauma due to specific lifestyle and working conditions, planned pregnancy in women, and limited access to emergency medical care); The patient's informed consent to undergo minimally invasive intervention, formed after being explained the nature of the disease, potential risks, alternative treatment methods, and expected outcomes.
Exclusion Criteria:
Angiomyolipoma of a solitary kidney; Severe renal failure (CKD stage 3a or higher); Pregnancy or lactation; Allergy to contrast agents or other drugs used during embolization; Coagulopathies or hemostatic disorders not amenable to correction;• Active urinary tract infection; Suspicion of malignant transformation (angiomyoliposarcoma) based on CT/MRI data or the presence of a malignant kidney tumor concurrently with AML; Non-operability or impossibility of catheterizing the feeding vessels (based on angiography); Patient's mental status preventing adequate decision-making and reducing the level of self-care;• Patient's unwillingness to participate in the study.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
