Description
Summary:1 Clinical symptoms, aneurysm size and renal impairment are the indications for treatment in pseudoaneurysm. 2 The non-surgical treatment options for renal artery pseudoaneurysm include angiographic embolisation 3 and percutaneous thrombin injection. 4 In the present report, pseudoaneurysm had closed due to probable spasm and thrombosis (hardware-induced) during attempted coil embolisation. [...]although uncommon, renal artery pseudoaneurysm is one of the major complications following PCNL and can lead to life threatening haematuria.
