Intrarenal pseudoaneurysms complicating renal choriocarcinoma metastases: treatment with coil embolization.
Most intrarenal pseudoaneurysms result from a laceration of the renal artery or its branches. However, tumor-induced renal pseudoaneurysm is very rare. We report a case in which embolization of an intrarenal pseudoaneurysm complicating renal metastases resulting from a choriocarcinoma was successful.
