Renal artery aneurysm treatment with stent plus coil embolization.
Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) is a rare event that may cause life-threatening rupture or renal function-threatening embolization. We report here a case of eccentric RAA involving the left upper pole renal artery and its three bifurcations, which was treated by stent plus coil embolization; the patient exhibited no renal insufficiency at 1-year follow-up. This endovascular strategy, therefore, may be applicable to this anatomical variant RAA.
