Abstract
A percutaneous embolisation technique was used for host kidney ablation in 13 patients with renal allografts and hypertension.

Embolisation of the host kidneys appears to be a simple, effective, and less hazardous alternative to surgery in the treatment of drug-resistant hypertension after renal transplantation in some patients.
