Abstract:
Bleeding is the most dreaded complication after percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). We report a case of post PCNL hematuria managed with selective angioembolization of the pseudoaneurysm. During the embolization, the emolization coil along with the glue migrated into the pelvicalyceal system from the pseudoaneurysmal cavity. The pseudoaneurysm was again embolized using cyanoacrylate glue and a screening computed tomography was immediately performed which showed the migrated coil along with the glue into the pelvicalyceal system resulting in pelviureteric junction obstruction. The coil was retrieved endoscopically, after the patient was stabilized. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of an immediate migration of the coil and the urologists should be aware of it.
