Embolization of a renal transplant pseudoaneurysm following angiolipoma resection. A case report.
The development of a pseudoaneurysm in renal allografts is a well-known complication of percutaneous biopsy. However, the authors report a case of pseudoaneurysm formation in a renal cadaver allograft, following documented angiolipoma resection prior to transplantation. Treatment required superselective embolization with multiple platinum coils.
