Summary

Percutaneous coil embolization effectively treated a renal artery aneurysm, improving blood pressure and kidney function. This less invasive approach offers a promising solution for secondary hypertension and declining renal function.

Area of Science:

  • Interventional Radiology
  • Nephrology
  • Vascular Surgery

Background:

  • Renal artery aneurysms can lead to renovascular hypertension and impaired renal function.
  • Percutaneous treatment offers a less invasive alternative to open surgery.

Observation:

  • A 72-year-old woman with a right renal artery aneurysm underwent successful percutaneous coil embolization.
  • Initial treatment showed incomplete aneurysm exclusion but led to normalized blood pressure and renal function.

Findings:

  • Follow-up at 3 months revealed complete exclusion of the aneurysm and preserved renal perfusion.
  • At 18 months, the patient remained normotensive with sustained improvement in renal function.

Implications:

  • Superselective coil embolization is effective for select renal artery aneurysms.
  • Embolotherapy may correct secondary hypertension and improve deteriorating renal function, warranting further long-term assessment.
