Lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm following percutaneous nephrolithotripsy: Treatment by transcatheter embolization

摘要

Vascular complications from percutaneous nephrostomyephrolithotripsy (PCN/PCNL) mostly involve the kidneys. Lumbar artery pseudoaneurysms from PCN and PCNL are a rare occurrence. We report a case of lumbar artery pseudoaneurysm following PCNL. This was treated successfully by transcatheter embolization.Keywords: Embolization, lumbar artery, percutaneous nephrolithotripsy, percutaneous nephrostomy, pseudoaneursym
