Percutaneous intervention of spontaneous renal artery dissection complicated with renal infarction: A case report and literature review

Abstract: Spontaneous renal artery dissection (SRAD) is a rare condition that occurs before renal infarction. Using percutaneous intervention to treat SRAD remains controversial because it is not clear whether it is feasible or effective. We describe a 48-year-old male patient with SRAD complicated with renal infarction who was successfully treated with percutnaeous angioplasty and renal artery stenting.

“…Many reports have shown the successful use of self-expanding stents to immediately take down the dissecting flap and shorten the duration of ischemia (10,23,24). In situ transcatheter thrombolysis is beneficial in cases of thrombotic occlusion on top of dissection to reconstitute the flow.…”

“…SRAD can also occur in normotensive people, usually after vigorous exercise. This is attributed to the greater degree of stretch on the renal artery leading to intimal tear 10. Renal ultrasound and Doppler have a poor sensitivity for diagnosing SRAD.…”

“…These situations have resulted in a shift towards a more conservative approach to this kind of injury. Recently, there have been encouraging reports about percutaneous revascularization by endovascular stenting in stable patients with unilateral renal artery occlusion [2528]. …”
