TI  - Endovascular repair of a ruptured renal artery aneurysm.
PG  - 71-4
AB  - PURPOSE: To describe the percutaneous treatment of a ruptured renal artery 
      aneurysm (RAA) using a stent-graft. CASE REPORT: An 86-year-old woman had sudden 
      onset of right-sided back pain and a swollen left leg. Computed tomography 
      disclosed a right retroperitoneal mass involving the kidney; the inferior vena 
      cava was compressed, with thrombus in the left common iliac artery. There was a 
      suggestion of RAA associated with contrast extravasation. Angiography confirmed a 
      saccular aneurysm of the distal right main renal artery immediately proximal to 
      the first segmental branch. A Jostent peripheral stent-graft was implanted with 
      complete exclusion of the lesion. At 6-month follow-up, the patient remained 
      asymptomatic, but there was a suggestion of in-stent restenosis, which is being 
      followed closely. CONCLUSIONS: In elderly patients who are hemodynamically stable 
      and have aneurysm anatomy that is suitable for stent-graft placement, the 
      endovascular approach may allow rapid and definitive treatment of the hemorrhage.
