      anatomy.

AB  - A left renal artery aneurysm (RAA) was incidentally discovered in a 50-year-old 
      hypertensive woman at renal artery duplex scan. The computed tomography 
      angiography scan confirmed an eccentric, 2-cm large aneurysm localized on a 
      prehilar branch with a very twisted and coiled main renal artery. The selective 
      digital subtraction angiography allowed a better understanding of the local 
      complex anatomy; a covered stent was placed with the complete exclusion of the 
      aneurysm. Even if open surgery still represents the treatment of choice, 
      endoluminal approach has been reported as an effective procedure especially in 
      consideration of its low invasiveness. The exclusion by covered stent can be a 
      safe alternative to coil embolization in case of distal RAAs as well.
