Embolism in a single functioning kidney: report of two cases.

C Selli, D Turini, G Berni

    British Journal of Urology
    |December 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Renal artery embolism in solitary kidneys is rare. Embolectomy may be indicated for main trunk occlusion, while medical therapy is an option for branch occlusions in patients with poor general health.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Cardiology

    Background:

    • Embolism affecting a solitary functioning kidney presents a unique clinical challenge.
    • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial to preserve renal function.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of renal artery embolism in patients with a single functioning kidney are presented.
    • Case 1: Occlusion of the main renal artery trunk treated with embolectomy.
    • Case 2: Occlusion of a major arterial branch managed with medical therapy due to the patient's critical condition.

    Findings:

    • Surgical embolectomy is a viable treatment for main renal artery trunk occlusion in solitary kidneys.
    • Medical management may be considered for branch artery occlusions, especially in medically compromised patients.
    • Literature review highlights the indications and contraindications for embolectomy in this specific scenario.

    Implications:

    • This study contributes to understanding the management strategies for renal artery embolism in solitary kidneys.
    • It underscores the importance of individualized treatment approaches based on occlusion location and patient status.
    • Further research may refine guidelines for surgical intervention versus conservative management in solitary kidney embolism.
