Abstract:
Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a standard, safe and efficient method for removing large renal calculi. This pathology is associated with a risk of life-threatening Iatrogenic Renal Vascular Injuries, such as pseudoaneurysm (1%-3%). We report the case of a 49 old year male patient with Hematuria post PCNL for renal calculi. Computed tomography renal angiography was indicated which showed a pseudoaneurysm in the lower pole of the left kidney confirmed by digital subtraction angiography. Super selective endovascular embolization was successfully performed with conservation of the left-over vascularization of the kidney. No postoperative complications were seen. We aimed to report this case and to review the literature regarding endovascular management of kidney pseudoaneurysms after PCNL.
