    Author: Ishizuka O, Takayama F, Sone S.
    Journal: Int J Urol; 2006 Jul; 13(7):993-4. PubMed ID: 16882070.
    Abstract:
    A 71-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of hematuria. A computed tomography scan showed a huge aneurysm (43 x 32 x 30 mm) in the right kidney. The patient was treated successfully with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) using detachable steel coils. At present, 1 year after TAE, the patient has no hematuria and hypertension. To our knowledge, this case is the second largest aneurysm treated successfully by TAE.
