Endovascular management of fusiform renal artery aneurysm in a patient with refractory hypertension using hydrocoils and embospheres.
We are reporting endovascular management of a renal artery aneurysm causing renal hypertension. The aneurysm by mass effect compressed the adjacent artery resulting in a hemodynamically significant stenosis. Endovascular management included embosphere embolization of the renal parenchyma distal to the stenosed segment and hydrocoil embolization of the aneurysm itself.
