Percutaneous embolization of hemorrhaging renal arteriovenous fistula]

A 67 year old male patient with macroscopic hematuria was treated by percutaneous intraarterial embolization with Gianturco-coil (Cook). The patient had a percutaneous stone removal from the left kidney two weeks before the bleeding. The emergency angiography showed an arteriovenous shunt in the left kidney. A superselective embolization was performed. There was no bleeding on the control angiography. The embolization was performed without complication.
