Segmental artery occlusion for sequential renal injuries. A case report.
We report on a patient who experienced life-threatening haemorrhages in 1974 and 1980 after receiving stab wounds to the same kidney. Treatment by means of segmental artery occlusion was successful. Nephrectomy would have been necessary to control exsanguinating bleeding in both instances. Successful evasion of nephrectomy on two occasions for trauma to the same kidney has not been reported previously.
