Abstract:
We report on a patient who experienced life-threatening haemorrhages in 1974 and 1980 after receiving stab wounds to the same kidney. Treatment by means of segmental artery occlusion was successful. Nephrectomy would have been necessary to control exsanguinating bleeding in both instances. Successful evasion of nephrectomy on two occasions for trauma to the same kidney has not been reported previously.

01:18Blood and Nerve Supply to the Kidney
The kidneys are vital organs responsible for filtering and cleaning blood, removing waste products, and regulating electrolyte levels. To perform these essential functions, they require a constant and robust blood supply.
Bloody Supply to the Kidneys:
The kidneys receive their blood supply from the renal arteries, which branch off from the abdominal aorta—the main artery supplying the abdomen and lower body. The renal arteries enter the kidneys at the hilum, a notch on the medial side of each...

01:19Imaging Studies VII: Vascular Imaging
DefinitionRenal angiography, also known as renal arteriography, is an imaging technique used to obtain a comprehensive view of blood flow and the vascular structure of blood vessels in the kidneys and surrounding areas.PurposeRenal angiography detects blood vessel abnormalities in the kidneys, such as aneurysms, stenosis, thrombosis, vascular tumors, and renal artery stenosis. It evaluates kidney function and guides interventional treatments like angioplasty or stent placement.Pre-Procedure...
