Renal cell carcinomas present with locally advanced or metastatic disease in 25% of patients. Thermal ablation may be considered in selected patients with single-site or oligometastatic disease in selected patients. We describe single-session transarterial particle embolization with the assistance of a balloon-occlusion catheter and microwave ablation of a large hypervascular adrenal metastasis using cone beam CT and fluoroscopic XperGuide needle guidance.
