TY - JOUR T1 - Renal Artery Embolization for the Treatment of Renal Artery Pseudoaneurysm Following Partial Nephrectomy JF - Ochsner Journal JO - Ochsner J SP - 259 LP - 263 VL - 13 IS - 2 AU - Cara Irwine AU - Dennis Kay AU - David Kirsch AU - James Michael Milburn Y1 - 2013/06/20 UR - http://www.ochsnerjournal.org/content/13/2/259.abstract N2 - Background Renal artery pseudoaneurysm following open, laparoscopic, or robotic-assisted nephrectomies is a relatively rare but serious complication. Selective renal artery embolization is an interventional radiologic procedure that can be used to successfully treat this postoperative complication.Case Report We present 2 cases of renal artery pseudoaneurysm, both of which were successfully treated by renal artery embolization, and briefly describe the technical aspects of and clinical indications for this angiographic procedure.Conclusion Unlike other imaging modalities, angiography shows the anatomic location of a pseudoaneurysm so the interventional radiologist can quickly treat this potentially life-threatening condition.
