“…Another cause of renal vein dilatation is the renal arteriovenous fistula. 3,5,6 However, in our patient, any arterial connection with the LRV was ruled out by preoperative imaging studies, which was also confirmed intraoperatively. Renal vein aneurysms may also be encountered in patients with renal carcinoma, hematuria, and back pain.…”

“…15 The arteriovenous fistulas usually occur as a consequence of renal biopsy, abdominal trauma, inflammation, malignancy, or renal surgery. 3 Herein, we report a large RVA and a coexisting vascular malformation, which may be a possible cause of the recurrent pulmonary embolism and chronic pelvic pain in a young adult.…”

“…1 A recent PubMed query (April 2016; with the key words ''renal,'' ''vein,'' and ''aneurysm'') identified only 14 cases in the English literature. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] The RVAs may be broadly classified as primary or secondary. Primary RVAs are probably related to congenital weakness of the venous wall with an associated underdevelopment of the media.…”

A 36-year-old young woman with a medical history of recurrent pulmonary embolism and chronic pelvic pain was admitted to our hospital. Contrast-enhanced imaging techniques revealed a large left renal vein aneurysm with a coexisting vascular mass. The patient was operated on electively, and the left kidney was autotransplanted to the right ileac fossa following the ex vivo resection of the vascular mass and the left renal vein aneurysm. Herein, we report an unusual coexistence of a vascular mass and recurrent pulmonary embolism treated successfully with our surgical treatment strategy.

“…Endoluminal occlusion is usually the management of choice in renal AV fistulae since it occludes the shunt while preserving the renal function[11]. Large shunt size and possibility of migration of embolizing material may limit endovascular management, warranting surgical management[3,4,12]. Traditionally stainless steel coils, gel foam and covered wall stents have been used as endovascular agents for the management of these cases[13].…”

An idiopathic renal arteriovenous (AV) fistula is a rare malformation of the kidney that may present insidiously with heart failure or hematuria. The treatment may be challenging due to large fistula size that may limit endovascular management. The authors report a case of an 85-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with acute heart failure and was found to have a right renal AV fistula. Since she had no prior history of renal intervention or trauma, a diagnosis of idiopathic renal AV fistula was made. She was managed by endoluminal occlusion using multiple stainless steel coils and Amplatzer vascular plug II device. The follow-up computed tomography showed complete occlusion of the fistula. This report highlights the late presentation of this rare disease and presents the utility of the combination of coils and Amplatzer device for management of a large fistula. It also reiterates that even if large, these fistulas can be managed by endovascular occlusion.

“…We reviewed of 12 other RVAs in adults reported in the English-language literature (Table 1). [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] It was previously reported that the left renal vein was the most common involved vessel. 1 However, no such preference was demonstrated in these 13 reviewed RVAs.…”
