Arteriovenous fistula: a rare complication of nephrectomy in a child with Wilms tumour.
The case of a 13-year-old boy with a renal arteriovenous fistula in the left renal pedicle after nephrectomy is presented. The fistula was successfully managed by percutaneous transluminal embolization with coils sparing the patient the burden of surgery. Attention is drawn to the very rare incidence of this complication after nephrectomy in children with Wilms tumour.
