Single spinal metastasis of renal cancer. (a) Preoperative angiography of the left feeding artery. Intense red halo could be seen around the tumor. (b) The specific location of the left feeding artery was observed after the blood flow slowed down. (c) Preoperative angiography of the right feeding artery. Intense red halo could be seen around the tumor. (d) Clogged coil in its left proximity. Medium-sized (150–250 μm) PVA particles were injected selectively to block small vessels around the tumor. The embolization of branches of inferior relevant arteries was observed. (e) Tumor curettage was achieved and bone cement was infused into partial tumor cavity. The spinal stability was reconstructed through the posterior approach
