    Author: Mikhail A, Ferral H, Smith AA, Stuke L.
    Journal: Vasc Endovascular Surg; 2022 May; 56(4):412-415. PubMed ID: 35025624.
    Abstract:
    Background: Renal artery to inferior vena cava fistula is a rare event postnephrectomy. We report a case of an adult male in whom a renal artery to inferior vena cava fistula was detected on non-invasive studies following nephrectomy for penetrating trauma. Case Report: A fistula between the right renal artery and inferior vena cava was confirmed with diagnostic angiography. The fistula was successfully embolized using microcoils. Discussion: This case highlights the importance of exploring retroperitoneal hematomas secondary to penetrating trauma.
