Radiofrequency ablation is a promising minimally invasive therapy for patients with renal cell carcinoma who are not suitable for surgical therapy. The procedure has a low complication rate. This report is of a patient with delayed life-threatening haematuria requiring transcatheter embolisation of a bleeding intrarenal artery after radiofrequency ablation for renal cell carcinoma.
