Abstract

Core needle biopsies are still widely performed to evaluate the pathologic suitability of a kidney allograft. Here, we report a case of pulsatile hematuria from a procurement core needle biopsy where the patient had to be taken emergently to interventional radiology for coil embolization immediately after organ reperfusion.
