title: [Postbiopsy giant pseudoaneurysm in renal transplant: treatment with embolization].
abstract: Pseudoaneurism in renal grafts is a well known complication of the percutaneous biopsy. Colour Doppler has been shown to be the choice technique for their diagnosis and subsequent control, the most effective treatment being embolization. This paper presents an unusual form of pseudoaneurism in terms of its size (up to 8 cm diameter) in a renal graft, following performance of a percutaneous biopsy with automatic needle. The findings of the colour Doppler study and the angiography are shown and discussed, as well as the treatment by embolization with metal spirals which achieved the stable, complete occlusion of the lesion after six months control.
