A conservative approach to traumatic intrarenal arteriovenous fistulae: experience with 13 cases
Abstract:
Thirteen patients with traumatic intrarenal arteriovenous fistulae due to blunt, penetrating and iatrogenic injury are reported. The major clinical feature in this series was renal haemorrhage. Conservative treatment resulted in spontaneous closure of the fistula and cessation of bleeding in 6 patients. Nephrectomy was performed in 3 patients for refractory haemorrhage, but a conservative operation would have been preferable. Renal segmental artery ligation was effective in controlling renal haemorrhage and promoting closure of the fistula in 4 patients. No adverse sequelae occurred following segmental artery ligation. The initial management of traumatic intrarenal arteriovenous fistulae should be conservative. Segmental artery ligation is recommended for the relief of persistent pain and control of renal haemorrhage.

Conserved Binding Sites
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

Conservative Forces
Conservative forces are forces that are dependent only on the initial and final positions of an object and that are independent of the path that the object takes between these positions. These forces conserve energy, which means that the work done by the force is independent of the path...
