Key Clinical MessageAlthough percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a gold standard treatment of large kidney stones, vascular injuries like pseudoaneurysm (PA) and arteriovenous fistula (AVF) may occur due to renal punctures. These endovascular complications need urgent intervention to be diagnosed and managed early. In this case series, 14 patients who had hematuria after PCNL were managed by using angiography to identify the vascular pathology. Among them, we identified 10 patients with PA and 4 patients with AVF, 1 patient with both subscapular hematoma and PA. Angiographic embolization was done successfully in all patients. Based on our results, in cases with peripheral parenchymal damage, PA was common and in cases with hilar damage, AVF was common. No other complication and rebleeding was detected after embolization. Based on our study, angiography can be used as a safe and effective method to detect and treat vascular injuries immediately and successfully.

Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common and safe treatment for large kidney stones.Though several complications are reported.Renal hemorrhage is the most common complication after PCNL with a incidence of 11.2% to 17.5%.There have been reports of post PCNL bleeding attributable to AV fistulas and pseudoaneurysms. Massive bleeding can occur in the early postoperative period (2 to 14 days after PCNL), and arteriovenous fistula formation as a late complication usually 6 weeks after PCNL. A 45 yrs old gentleman presented with bilateral flank pain,right sided prone PCNL done. Then presented with post PCNL hematuria, angioemblosation done twice but again developed hematuria and diagnostic angiography done, and diagnosed as A-V fistula and coiling done. No post operative complications were seen. Angiography is the preferred method and has advantages as it can detect vascular lesions and immediately treated once they are detected.Early diagnosis and treatment of post PCNL hematuria is warrented to reduce morbidity and a successful outcome.
