ABSTRACT
Post-traumatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and pseudoaneurysm are rare, and mostly occur in stab wound patients. Suspected AVF and pseudoaneurysm requires angiography, with planned simultaneous embolization. Superselective embolization is generally a safe and effective treatment modality for AVF and pseudoaneurysm with minimal associated morbidity. Rare complications of the embolization do occur, including renal abscess, postembolization syndrome, impaired renal function, pulmonary embolism caused by migration of coils, and allergic reaction. We present here the case of a man who presented with a newly discovered pseudoaneurysm after embolization of a renal AVF with pseudoaneurysm after a renal stab wound.
