  • Title: [Post-traumatic renal arteriovenous fistula. Conservative treatment with superselective embolization].
    Author: Gómez Pascual JA, Chicharro Molero JA, Bonilla Parrilla R, Alvarado Rodríguez A, Ruiz Díaz M, Del Rosal Samaniego JM, Baena González V.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 2002 Oct; 55(8):949-52. PubMed ID: 12455287.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: Renal arterial-venous fistula is a low incidence clinical entity generally secondary to processes invasive to such organ. We report a new case with a bibliographic review, and evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic approach. METHODS/RESULTS: We report the case of a patient who suffered a left flank knife wound and developed an arterial-venous fistula presenting with hematuria that was solved by selective embolization. CONCLUSIONS: Arterial-venous fistula is a low incidence entity, usually secondary to renal trauma (open or blunt) and invasive processes. Renal Doppler-Ultrasound is the initial diagnostic procedure when its diagnosis is strongly suspected and then angiography is both confirmatory and therapeutic.
