A 76-year-old man with renal artery aneurysm was successfully treated by transcatheter embolization with complete preservation of renal blood flow. Embolization was performed with detachable platinum coils. Two months later, follow-up angiography showed completely packed aneurysm and preserved blood flow of the branch. It may be reasonable to consider that embolization of the aneurysm is the primary treatment modality for some of the patients with renal artery aneurysm.
