  • Title: [Diagnostic availability of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in a case of cirsoid-type renal arteriovenous fistula].
    Author: Ishikawa T, Tamada H, Inoue T, Shimatani N.
    Journal: Hinyokika Kiyo; 2003 Jan; 49(1):47-9. PubMed ID: 12629782.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of cirsoid-type renal arteriovenous fistula (RAVF), which was difficult to differentiate from renal pelvic tumor by intravenous pyelography and computed tomographic (CT) scan. A 76-year-old woman visited our department complaining of sudden asymptomatic macroscopic hematuria. A CT scan showed an irregular mass (3 x 2 x 2 cm) in the right kidney. MRA revealed a cirsoid-type renal arteriovenous fistula. The patient was treated with TAE using ethanol, geratin sponge, and a coil. It is suggested that MRA is useful for the diagnosis of renal arteriovenous fistula.
