Abstract:

Percutaneous renal biopsies may be complicated by iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms. These are frequently diagnosed sonographically, and treated angiographically. This case report presents a renal transplant patient whose renal function declined after percutaneous renal biopsy. A large (5.5 cm) biopsy-related renal transplant pseudoaneurysm was readily identified on ultrasound, but was not visualized on selective renal transplant arteriography. Subsequent super selective renal transplant arteriography revealed the pseudoaneurysm, which was successfully embolized. One month after embolization, the patient’s renal function nearly normalized.
