  • Title: Renal arteriovenous fistula: a rare complication of electro-hydraulic lithotripsy.
    Author: Abogunrin FA.
    Journal: S Afr J Surg; 2012 Nov 12; 50(4):134-5. PubMed ID: 23217556.
    Abstract:
    Renal arteriovenous fistula (rAVF) is an uncommon condition, usually iatrogenic and in most cases caused by percutaneous renal needle biopsy. This is a report of rAVF following flexible ureteroscopic electro-hydraulic lithotripsy of a lower pole renal calculus and its subsequent management. A high index of suspicion is required for the diagnosis of this rare complication, which is easily treated by radiological intervention.
