title: [Thrombosis of the renal artery of traumatic origin].
abstract: On the basis of a case study which was referred to their attention, the authors make a critical review of international literature on the physiopathological aspects and subsequent complications of renal artery trauma. The aspect that is most carefully evaluated refers to the types of therapeutic technique adopted by various authors in an attempt to resolve post-traumatic thrombosis whilst preserving kidney function. In view of the results obtained over the years and on the base of their own experience, the authors confirm the validity of angioplastic surgery, where possible, or nephrectomy in cases where renal function is excluded.
