title: [Arteriovenous fistulae following percutaneous renal biopsy in renal transplantation. Selective arterial embolization].
abstract: Five cases of clinically severe arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) secondary to percutaneous renal biopsy in patients carrying a functional renal graft were diagnosed and treated in our centre. Occlusion via superselective intraarterial embolization accomplished successful control in every case. We insist on the therapeutical value of this minimally invasive technique, which furnish it with a particularly relevant role in renal transplantation.
