Abstract:
Percutaneous renal biopsy is frequently used in diagnosis of renal dysfunction. Nevertheless, complications, mostly vascular, may occur. Treatment must be minimally invasive with nephron preservation, especially in kidney failure. We present an interesting therapeutic approach with highly selective catheterization under gadolinium and glue embolization, leading to total cure of iatrogenic fistula without renal deterioration.
