Summary

A renal artery-renal vein fistula was found 10 years after stump nephrectomy. Imaging confirmed a pulsatile mass, leading to surgical intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Stump nephrectomy, a procedure leaving residual kidney tissue, can rarely lead to delayed complications.
  • Vascular anomalies following renal surgery require careful diagnostic evaluation.

Observation:

  • Sonography revealed a paraaortic pulsatile tubular mass in a patient 10 years post-nephrectomy.
  • The mass's pulsatile nature suggested a vascular origin.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT), angiography, and laparotomy confirmed the mass as a renal artery-renal vein fistula.
  • This rare arteriovenous communication developed long after the initial surgery.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of considering delayed vascular complications after nephrectomy.
