Abstract:
Renal vein aneurysm (RVA) is extremely rare and often asymptomatic, disclosed only incidentally on diagnostic imaging modalities such as computed tomography and ultrasonography. Management is often just watchful follow-up, but some patients require intervention. We present the case of a 74-year-old man complaining of lower back pain in whom a 53-mm RVA was identified. He underwent successful endovascular repair using Amplatzer vascular plugs. The aneurysm had completely resolved by 12 months. Endovascular treatment of a primary RVA does not seem to have been reported previously. This is a milestone case in the management of RVA.
