Endovascular treatment of a renal artery branch aneurysm

Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol. 2007 Jan-Feb;30(1):118-20. doi: 10.1007/s00270-006-0219-0.

Abstract

A 58-year-old woman was admitted to our institution because of a left renal artery branch saccular aneurysm with a 2 cm diameter. Due to a hostile abdomen and the infrarenal location, an endovascular approach was chosen. A Jostent Peripheral Stent-Graft was placed under angiographic control, excluding the aneurysm from the circulation. No peri- or postprocedural complications were observed. At 6 months follow-up, the endograft is patent, excluding the aneurysm. Endovascular treatment may represent an alternative to surgery, especially in the distal infraparenchymal location.
