Idiopathic renal arteriovenous fistula treated by transcatheter embolization

Abstract

Renal arteriovenous fistulas (RAVFs) are unusual lesions with a variety of clinical manifestations. Traditionally, these lesions have been treated surgically. We report on an idiopathic, high‐flow RAVF and an aneurysm treated successfully with the embolization technique. The endovascular management of RAVFs in carefully selected patients is a safe and effective therapeutic technique.
