title: Arteriovenous aneurysm of kidney after open renal biopsy.
abstract: Renal arteriovenous fistula following percutaneous renal biopsy is being reported frequently in the literature. For this reason, open renal biopsy has gained popularity as a safer alternative procedure. We present a case of a large arteriovenous fistula seen two years after open renal biopsy. The presentation was highly atypical, mimicking an acute gastrointestinal event, rather than sudden hemorrhage in a previously asymptomatic fistula.
