Endovascular Coiling in the management of patients with Renal Artery Aneurysms

Abstract Endovascular coiling is a percutaneous endovascular technique used in the management of arterial aneurysms with high success rate and minimal associated morbidity. We present a series of three patients with incidental renal artery aneurysms treated successfully with endovascular coiling, despite co-morbidities. One patient had an aneurysm associated with a solitary kidney. The decision to use this technique becomes critical when the aneurysm involves a single functioning kidney. Each renal artery aneurysm was successfully coiled combining vascular and neuro-interventional techniques. This case series also highlights the challenges faced in therapeutic decision-making in a complex situation with limited error margins.
