Transcatheter embolization of a renal arteriovenous fistula complicated by an aneurysm of the feeding renal artery

Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2008 Mar-Apr;31(2):415-7. doi: 10.1007/s00270-006-0184-7.

Abstract

Renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is rare. Renal AVF complicated by aneurysm of the feeding artery presents a technical challenge for endovascular treatment. We report a case managed by covered stenting of the renal artery aneurysm, coil embolization of the fistula, and bare stenting of the aorta.
