title: Renal artery pseudoaneurysm successfully treated with the outer coating of the tip of the J wire.
abstract: Kidney injury and renal pseudoaneurysm after blunt abdominal trauma can lead to renal loss and potentially life-threatening bleed. Recent advances in endovascular interventions (embolization) can prevent potentially challenging surgical situations. We are presenting herein a case of life-threatening renal injury with renal artery pseudoaneurysm and bleeding treated with makeshift embolization using the outer coating of a J tip guide wire.
