Lumbar Artery Pseudoaneurysm: A Complication of Percutaneous Nephrostomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 21 year-old male underwent nephrostomy tube insertion for hydronephrosis due to a large para-aortic adenopathy of a testicular tumor. In order to reduce infections during chemotherapy, a ureteral stent was placed. While removing the nephrostomy tube, a pulsatile bleeding was found and a renal angiography was done. A pseudoaneurysm of his first left lumbar (L1) artery communicating with the nephrostomy's access site was found. An embolization was performed with coils in the left L1 artery and one of its subdivisions. Post-embolization controls revealed no bleeding. On the follow-up CT, there were no suspicious retroperitoneal mass.

متن کاملPost-PCNL Renal Artery Pseudoanurysm.
A renal artery pseudoaneurysm is a rare but important complication that can occur after renal trauma, renal biopsy, percutaneous nephrostomy, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), and partial nephrectomy. The incidence of this potentially life-threatening complication is less than 1%, but is likely to increase with the increasing popularity of endoscopic renal procedures. We present a case of a ...

متن کاملEmbolization of renal artery pseudoaneurysm following laparoscopic partial nephrectomy for central renal tumor: A report of two cases
Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy has recently emerged as a minimally invasive treatment for small- to moderate-sized renal tumors. Renal artery pseudoaneurysms (RAPs) have been well-reported in patients with renal trauma or who have undergone percutaneous urological procedures, including biopsy, nephrostomy and percutaneous nephroureterolithotomy. However, RAP following laparoscopic partial nep...
متن کاملArterio-venous fistula with pseudoaneurysm of renal artery.
INTRODUCTION The authors describe a rare but potentially severe, sometimes even life-threatening complication occurring after various invasive renal interventions. The cause that gives rise to a fistula formation between close branches of renal artery and vein is an injury of these vessels during resection of a localised renal tumour, renal biopsy, percutaneous nephrostomy, and even blunt injur...
