Percutaneous Embolization of Renal Artery Pseudoaneurysm after Laparoscopic Partial Nephrectomy for Renal Cell Carcinoma / 대한비뇨기과학회지

ABSTRACT

Currently, partial nephrectomy for patients with malignant renal tumors has become the procedure of choice for elective indications. Attempts have been made to use minimally invasive endoscopic procedures to replace the standard open partial nephrectomy. Laparoscopic partial nephrectomy can be technically challenging and be associated with vascular complications such as pseudoaneurysm. We report here on a case of renal artery pseudoaneurysm that occurred after laproscopic partial nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma treated by percutaneous selective angioembolization.
