title: [A favourable outcome of combined treatment in a patient with renal artery embolism and atrial fibrillation].
abstract: Presented herein is a clinical case report regarding a patient who was found to have embolism of the right renal artery with accompanying atrial fibrillation. Open surgery is viewed as a method of choice amongst a variety of the available treatment modalities aimed at re-establishing renal blood supply impaired due to embolism of the renal artery trunk. This clinical example demonstrates a possibility of successful renal revascularization undertaken 72 hours after renal artery embolism. The decision to simultaneously perform a combined surgical intervention consisting of embolectomy from the bifurcation of the renal artery, thrombectomy from it branches, and finally followed by radiofrequency ablation of the cava-tricuspidal isthmus, turned out an appropriate therapeutic policy which yielded a patient-friendly immediate outcome as well as favourable remote results persisting over time.
