title: Intrarenal arteriovenous fistulas: transcatheter steel coil occlusion.
abstract: Intrarenal arteriovenous fistulas are either congenital (cirsoid), acquired or idiopathic. Transcatheter occlusion of these fistulas was accomplished using the Gianturco stainless steel coil. The anatomical configuration of the feeding and draining vessels dictated the technical approach. There was considerable conservation of renal tissue as the result of this non-surgical therapeutic alternative.
