A review of the literature reveals 9 cases of spontaneous renal rupture in pregnancy, to which we add another case. Most cases occurred in hydronephrotic kidneys. Four cases consisted of renal rupture without associated infection, or tumor, 3 were associated with abscesses, and 3 ruptured through renal hamartomas. Previously, all ruptured kidneys were removed. In our case the kidney was salvaged satisfactorily by prompt placement of a nephrostomy tube and drainage of the perirenal tissue. Attempt at renal salvage is urged for renal supture in pregnancy.

Primary Intra-operative Embolisation During Urgent Parallel Graft Endovascular Repair in Paravisceral Symptomatic Aortic Pseudoaneurysm.

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.

: The parallel stent graft endovascular aortic repair (PGEVAR) technique is an off-the-shelf option used for elective complex abdominal aortic aneurysm repair with acceptable outcome results, as reported so far. The PGEVAR technique, using chimney or periscope parallel grafts, can also be used for patients with ruptured complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, only few data about the mid- to long-term outcomes are available.

Specifically, an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is identified as an aortic diameter measuring at least one and a half times the standard diameter at the renal artery level, approximately equivalent to 2.0 cm.

Introduction: The rarest form of renal ectopia, the thoracic kidney, has been documented in only about 200 cases worldwide. There are four recognized causes of congenital thoracic renal ectopia: renal ectopia with an intact diaphragm, diaphragmatic eventration, diaphragmatic hernia, and traumatic diaphragmatic rupture. This condition often presents as an incidental finding in asymptomatic patients.
