Abstract
We herein report a case of a renal arteriovenous fistula arising due to blunt trauma. A 61-year-old female was suspected of having a renal artery aneurysm based on a computed tomography (CT) scan performed at the referring hospital. She had hit the right side of her back after slipping from a stage as a child. An abdominal bruit was heard on the right umbilical point, and mild urinary occult blood was observed. Right renal arteriography revealed two consecutive aneurysms from the upper branch, and the inferior vena cava was early enhanced. A renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) with aneurysmal formation was diagnosed. Coil embolization with balloon occlusion for the AVF was successfully performed without any complications, including fever and renal dysfunction. Coil embolization is therefore considered to be a safe and effective method for treating a renal arteriovenous fistula with aneurysmal formation.
