[Renal embolism. Revascularization using conservative treatment].
We report a case of embolism of the intrarenal arterial branches of a cardiac origin. The results of the urographic, ultrasound, ascending pyelography and laboratory work up prompted us to suspect the vascular nature of the condition. Its unilateral feature, involvement of the intrarenal arterial branches, and the coexisting mitral valve disease with atrial flutter advised conservative management with systemic anticoagulation.
