POSTOPERATIVE RENAL-ARTERY STUMP LEAK

Pseudoaneurysm formation is an uncommon complication of simultaneous a ortic and renal artery revascularization procedures that has been note d to occur primarily at sites of anastomosis. We present the computed tomographic and angiographic findings of an unusual case of contained leak arising from the proximal renal artery stump with associated infe rior vena caval compression and thrombosis in a patient who had had ab dominal aortic aneurysmectomy and bilateral aortorenal bypass.
