We present a 28-year-old man with a large symptomatic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) treated with embolization using the Amplatzer vascular plug (AVP). Although embolization may be considered the first-line therapy in the treatment of AVFs, there is an inherent high risk of migration of the embolic agents into the venous and pulmonary circulations. This case is illustrative of the ease and safety of using this device in high-flow renal AVFs.

A case of ruptured adrenal artery aneurysm is presented. The ultrasound, computed tomography and selective renal angiography findings are described in detail. Aneurysms of adrenal arteries are particularly rare. Early diagnosis is important because of their tendency towards rupture and subsequent high mortality rate.
