Abstract: | | Introduction | Paradoxical embolism is a rare cause of severe renal arteryocclusion and is frequently under-diagnosed [1]. Rapid endovascular intervention with minimal morbidity may makeclot removal possible and reverse organ function [2,3]. We present here the case of a patient with an acute renal failuredue to a bilateral renal artery paradoxical embolism that wassuccessfully treated by a modified standard technique of anendovascular procedure, with a rapid mechanical and local pharmacologicalthrombolysis. The patient partially recovered her renal functionand was able to stop dialysis.
