There are substantial historical data supporting the hypothesis that renal embolization induces abscopal responses and improves long-term survival. Regression of metastases following embolization of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was first reported in the 1970s (1). A large series with matched controls demonstrated that embolization doubled the overall survival irrespective of the tumor, node, and metastasis stage (2).

Patients on long-standing hemodialysis (HD) are susceptible to central venous occlusions because they may require multiple central venous accesses over long periods of time. Repetitive central venous cannulation may induce endothelial injury that can contribute to the development of stenosis and subsequent occlusions (1).
