Recurrence Of A Delayed-Onset Posttraumatic Renal Pseudoaneurysm After Initially Successful Transarterial Embolization

Hemodynamically stable patients with renal injury can be managed conservatively. Anatomy typically leads to physi-ologic confinement of urinomas or renal hematomas to the interfascial planes of the retroperitoneum. In the presented case there was unusual reperfusion 14 days after a successful embolization of a renal pseudoaneurysm, at this time 28 days after the initiating trauma. This article discusses the evolution, treatment options and possible underlying causes for the reperfusion of this late-onset renal pseudoaneurysm. (C) 2014 S. Karger AG, Basel
