    Abstract:
    Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) concomitant with a renal arteriovenous fistula (RAVF) is extremely rare. A 32-year-old man suffered from a giant RAA combined with high-flow RAVF. The computer tomographic angiography (CTA) demonstrated a RAA, which is 6.3 cm in length and 2.1 cm in diameter, combined with an arteriovenous fistula between the right renal artery and right renal vein (fistula area:1.05 cm × 1.0 cm). After a comprehensive preoperative assessment, a patent ductus arteriosus occluder (PDAO) was implanted. At a 1-year follow-up, the CTA study showed that the PDAO was in situ and there was no recanalization of the lesion. At a third-year follow-up, ultrasound examination showed an image of right renal atrophy. The results of long-term follow-up demonstrate that PDAO is safe and effective for the management of RAAs combined with high-flow RAVF.
