AI Article Synopsis
- A 25-year-old woman developed a secondary renal artery aneurysm after her main renal artery was occluded, leading to an enlarged aneurysm despite having normal kidney function.
- Imaging showed a 2.2 mm left renal aneurysm with blood supply coming from collateral branches of the aorta, allowing for successful treatment through embolization.
- Post-treatment, the patient's hypertension significantly improved over three years, highlighting the need for regular monitoring of individuals with similar vascular conditions.
Article Abstract
Introduction: This study reports a patient who developed a secondary renal artery aneurysm (RAA) after occlusion of the main renal artery.
Methods: A 25-year-old woman was hospitalized due to an enlarged renal artery aneurysm (RAA). Computed tomography angiography revealed a 2.2 mm left renal aneurysm and the absence of the left renal artery trunk, with collateral blood supply from the branch arteries of the aorta. The left kidney function remained normal, allowing successful aneurysm embolization. Three years after embolization, the patient's hypertension improved and became more manageable.
Conclusion: Compensation through other abdominal aorta branches after renal artery trunk occlusion is rare, and these branches may also lead to the development of aneurysms. Regular monitoring of these patients is essential.

Curr Med Imaging
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Chung-Ang University Gwangmyeong Hospital, Gwangmyeong, Republic of Korea.
Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate renal artery embolization in patients with spontaneous renal artery bleeding based on detailed angiographic findings and a comprehensive analysis of its efficacy and clinical outcomes.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective study evaluated the outcomes of renal artery embolization in 18 cases among 15 patients (11 men and 4 women; mean age: 57.9 years) treated for spontaneous renal bleeding at our institution between March 2017 and October 2023.
Identifying Risk Factors for Lower Extremity Artery Disease (LEAD) in Cardiology Patients: The Role of Ankle-Brachial Index Measurement.
J Clin Med

Department of Cardiology and Internal Medicine with Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, Medical University of Białystok, ul. M. Skłodowskiej-Curie 24A, 15-276 Białystok, Poland.
Lower Extremity Artery Disease (LEAD) is a predictor of atherosclerotic plaques in other locations and significantly increases the risk of death from cardiovascular events. This study aimed to identify cardiology patient subpopulations that should undergo Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) measurement. A total of 800 patients hospitalized in the Department of Cardiology were included.

Characteristics and prognostic values of abdominal aortic branches calcification in hemodialysis patients.
Ren Fail
December 2025
Institute of Nephrology, Zhong Da Hospital, Southeast University School of Medicine, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.
Background: Vascular calcification is highly prevalent and associated with mortality in hemodialysis patients. However, extreme splanchnic arterial calcification in calciphylaxis with poor prognosis raises questions regarding the reliability of previous vascular calcification scoring methods. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the distribution characteristics of abdominal aortic branch calcification and identify a more reliable predictor of mortality in hemodialysis patients.
