Stab wounds of the renal artery branches: angiographic diagnosis and treatment by embolization

Transcatheter embolization for iatrogenic renal hemorrhage: a single center experience

“…Therefore, in these circumstances, percutaneous angiography with superselective embolization is superior to open surgical exploration because of its lower morbidity, lower hospital costs, high success rate and lower risk of nephrectomy. [11,12] Breyer et al, [13] performed a review of 10 published case series of embolization therapy for renal trauma. They found that the overall technical success rate was 90% (151 of 167), and the clinical success rate was 79% (132 of 167).…”

The need for early angiography in patients with penetrating renal injuries

“…For more than 35 years, angiographic diagnosis and treatment by embolization have been utilized as an adjunct in the management of both persistent bleeding and highrisk vascular lesions resulting from penetrating wounds to the kidney [18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Bleeding from segmental renal artery branches, traumatic arteriovenous fistulas, and pseudoaneurysms are not uncommon abnormalities resulting from penetrating renal wounds [25].…”

Embolization of a Segmental Renal Artery Pseudoaneurysm after Partial Nephrectomy in a Solitary Kidney

“…Clot retention with secondary partial obstruction of the collecting system is considered the reason for deterioration of renal function in some instances. Surgery, involving either clamping of the renal artery or ligating the feeding artery or arteries, has been performed to treat false renal aneurysms [1][2][3][4].…”

“…Renal pseudoaneurysms are relatively common and well reported in patients after blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma or after percutaneous biopsy [1,2]. When symptomatic, these usually present with hematuria and deterioration of renal function.…”
