Endovascular embolization of pseudoaneurysm of left colic artery developing after renal biopsy

Abstract: Vascular complications after percutaneous renal biopsy are uncommon and may require interventional management. In most of these cases, the pathology is a renal arterial pseudoaneurysm (PsA) or an arterio-venous fistula. Injury to other vessels like aorta, lumbar arteries or mesenteric arteries is rare with only one case of left colic artery PsA reported in literature. We report a case of a 60-year-old female, who developed left colic artery PsA after renal biopsy, which was successfully embolized through endov… Show more

“…Post-biopsy bleeding is the primary complication of renal biopsies. Notably, a retroperitoneal haematoma is an uncommon but severe bleeding complication with a nonspecific presentation, such as abdominal or back pain and symptoms of hypovolaemia [ 1 , 2 ]. It usually occurs in patients with risk factors or vascular lesions, including coagulation disorders [ 3 ], arterial injuries [ 1 ], and pseudoaneurysms [ 2 ].…”
