Usefulness of dynamic renal scintigraphy in a patient with renal arteriovenous fistula treated by transcatheter embolization.

چکیده
Tc-99m-DTPA renal scintigraphy was performed before and after transcatheter coil embolization in a patient with renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Before embolization, scintigraphy showed a characteristic accumulation pattern compatible with the hemodynamics of an aneurysmal type of AVF in the vascular phase. After embolization, the effects of treatment, such as a change in the split renal function on the treated-side and the disappearance of the shunt flow through the fistula were evident. It was concluded that dynamic renal scintigraphy was very useful for patients with an aneurysmal type of renal AVF scheduled for transcatheter embolization.

Renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an uncommon anomaly characterized by the communication between renal arteries and veins. Renal AVFs are often asymptomatic but are occasionally accompanied by hematuria or heart failure. Transcatheter closure with embolization is a safe and effective treatment for renal AVF. We herein report an 87-year-old patient with heart failure due to renal AVF who was ...

In recent years increasing numbers of percutaneous renal biopsies are being performed, occasionally resulting in complications such as arteriovenous (AV) fistulae. Over 35% of all renal AV fistulae are formed secondary to percutaneous biopsy. In the past patients with bleeding fistulae were treated surgically, but more recently transcatheter embolization has become a recognized form of therapy....

Although endovascular transcatheter embolization of arteriovenous fistulas is minimally invasive, the torrential flow prevailing within a fistula implies the risk of migration of the deployed embolization devices into the downstream venous and pulmonary circulation. We present the endovascular treatment of a giant postnephrectomy arteriovenous fistula between the right renal pedicle and the res...

The aims of this study were to identify arteriographic manifestations of acute renal hemorrhage and to evaluate the efficacy of emergency embolization. Emergency renal artery angiography was performed on 83 patients with acute renal hemorrhage. As soon as bleeding arteries were identified, emergency embolization was performed using gelatin sponge, polyvinyl alcohol particles, and coils. The art...

Introduction Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PNL) is the preferred procedure for safe and effective surgical treatment of kidney stones. Hemorrhage is the most serious complication of PNL, resulting from pseudoaneurysm (PA) or arteriovenous fistula (AVF), and can usually be controlled with conservative treatment. Aim To evaluate endovascular treatments and outcomes of vascular complications obs...
