title: The value of computed tomography scans in the diagnosis and management following invasive arterial investigation.
abstract: We report a patient who was known to have an abdominal aortic aneurysm and was being assessed for endovascular repair by calibrated angiogram, who developed back pain and cardiovascular collapse, where a computed tomography scan proved essential in establishing the correct diagnosis - bleed from an accessory renal artery branch.
