RESUMO
El tapón vascular Amplatzer (Amplatzer vascular plug [AVP]) es un dispositivo oclusor utilizado para embolizaciones vasculares, que debido a su excelente maniobrabilidad y efectividad, está siendo utilizado cada vez con mayor frecuencia. Su última versión, el AVP 4, permite llevarlo a vasos más tortuosos y de menor calibre. Hasta la fecha, únicamente han sido publicados casos de repermeabilización espontánea con versiones anteriores de los AVP. Presentamos un caso de repermeabilización tras la embolización de una arteria renal con un AVP 4 (AU)
