Selective embolization of a renal artery aneurysm

The treatment modalities for renal artery aneurysm have changed. The aim in the presented case was to evaluate the endovascular therapy in a 52-year-o ld woman (with hematuria as the only symptom) with a saccular aneurysm at t he first bifurcation of the right main renal artery, which was diagnosed wi th contrast-enhanced computerized tomography and angiography. We approached the aneurysm with minimally invasive supraselective embolization. There we re no postoperative complications, as confirmed with control angiography, d uring the intervention and after an interval of 4 weeks. In conclusion, sel ective coil embolization as first-line therapy to treat saccular renal arte ry aneurysm is feasible. In this case, minimally invasive procedure provide d maximum functioning kidney tissue.
