Asymptomatic renal pseudoaneurysm after percutaneous renal biopsy.

Kidney Res Clin Pract

Division of Nephrology, Department of Internal Medicine, Gangnam Severance Hospital, Yonsei University, College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea.

Published: June 2013

A 37-year-old man was referred to Division of Nephrology for a new renal cystic lesion that was found on ultrasonography. Four years prior to presentation, a percutaneous renal biopsy had been performed. Computed tomography scan showed a 4.4-cm-sized renal artery pseudoaneurysm in the left kidney. Selective renal angiography revealed a pseudoaneurysm in the left lower pole of the kidney. The renal pseudoaneurysm was successfully embolized with coil. Follow-up Doppler ultrasonography showed no internal blood flow into the aneurysmal sac. His renal function remained stable after coil embolization.

Objective: Paravisceral aortic lesions present significant challenges for endovascular treatment. This retrospective analysis of consecutively treated patients from April 2017 to June 2021 aimed to analyse the outcome of primary intra-operative embolisation of aortic complicated pseudoaneurysms and gutter channels during parallel graft (PG) repair of paravisceral symptomatic aortic pseudoaneurysms.

Methods: Patients with symptomatic pseudoaneurysms of the paravisceral aorta treated with PGs using chimney or periscope configurations were included.

In renal vasculitis, luminal narrowing can reduce blood flow and activate the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, causing renovascular hypertension. We present the case of a 47-year-old man with previous intestinal tuberculosis and episodes of lumbar pain, tender erythematous nodules and arthralgias. He had grade 3 hypertension, unresponsive to treatment, with left ventricular concentric hypertrophy and chronic kidney disease.

Pseudoaneurysm is a common vascular abnormality marked by arterial wall disruption, with complications that can arise unpredictably and carry high morbidity and mortality rates. This case study emphasises the management of recurrent haematuria and clot retention in a young man presenting to the emergency department. It underscores the importance of early recognition and management of recurrent haematuria and clot retention caused by pseudoaneurysm, emphasising the critical role of multidisciplinary collaboration in optimising patient outcomes.

Background: Studies on emergency transarterial embolization (TAE) of renal arterial injuries are rare. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate clinical outcomes after emergency transarterial renal embolization.

Material And Methods: Between January 1st, 2013 and January 1st, 2024, all consecutive patients treated for renal arterial injuries by TAE in emergency settings were retrospectively reviewed.
