title: Pseudoaneurysm complicating protocol renal transplant biopsies: case reports.
abstract: Pseudoaneurysm is a rare complication of a renal biopsy procedure. We describe two cases of kidney transplant recipients who were diagnosed with a pseudoaneurysm more than 48 hours after protocol renal allograft biopsy and were successfully treated by selective embolization of the afferent artery.
