  • Title: Transcatheter embolization of a renal artery aneurysm using ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer.
    Author: Rautio R, Haapanen A.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol; 2007; 30(2):300-3. PubMed ID: 17206392.
    Abstract:
    Our aim was to treat a clinically silent renal artery aneurysm. The patient was a 76-year-old man with elevated prostate-specific antigen and prostate biopsies with a grade II-III adenocarcinoma who was incidentally found to have an aneurysm in his right renal artery. We performed a successful transcatheter embolization of the aneurysm using ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer (Onyx). To avoid migration of the liquid material into the parent artery, a balloon was inflated in the orifice of the neck of the aneurysm while the liquid was injected. Five-month follow-up computed tomography (CT) imaging confirmed total occlusion of the aneurysm.
