Ruptured renal artery aneurysm: coil packing with GDCs

Jpn J Radiol. 2012 Jun;30(5):442-5. doi: 10.1007/s11604-012-0057-8. Epub 2012 Feb 29.

Abstract

Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) is a relatively uncommon occurrence, but it can be life-threatening when rupture (although rare) occurs. We present the successful endovascular treatment of a ruptured RAA, which was achieved by packing the aneurysm using Guglielmi and interlocking detachable coils.
