An isolated traumatic renal artery pseudoaneurysm treated by renal artery stent insertion: a case report presenting a nephron-sparing approach.

Penetrating or blunt traumas can rarely lead to renal artery pseudoaneurysms (RAPs). Renal parenchymal lacerations usually accompany them, and nephrectomy is performed in these cases. Although angioembolization of the renal artery can negate the need for nephrectomy while treating the RAP, it is not a nephron-sparing procedure.
