Abstract:
We performed superselective embolization of an iatrogenic pseudoaneurysm of the right kidney that was causing hematuria and deterioration of renal function in a patient with chronic renal failure. An arcuate artery was embolized with absorbable gelatin sponge and a straight embolization wire without significant loss of renal vascularization, thus restoring baseline renal function. To our knowledge the clinical and technical aspects of our case are unique. The technique is described.
