Spontaneous Rupture of an Aneurysmal Intrarenal Arteriovenous Fistula

Mori

Koga²,

Nishikido³

et al. 2003

We present a 65-year-old woman who was found to have a spontaneous rupture of an aneurysmal intrarenal arteriovenous fistula.

However, the process of choosing among embolization, surgery, or a combination of both procedures must be individualized for each patient based on vital signs and symptoms.
