title: Renal artery embolization for kidney trauma.
abstract: Kidney trauma occurs in approximately 1-5% of all traumas with the male to female ratio being 3:1. In this paper we reported two cases of male patients with kidney trauma treated by renal artery embolization. Endo-vascular embolization is an efficient method for the treatment of patient with severe renal haemorrhage preserving loss of renal parenchyma and renal function.
