USUAL TO UNUSUAL VASCULAR COMPLICATIONS ENCOUNTERED DURING ENDOVASCULAR MANAGEMENT OF RENAL BIOPSY COMPLICATIONS

Abstract

Percutaneous renal biopsy is widely used for diagnosis, prognosis, and management of nephropathies. Early identication and embolization of the involved artery aids in effective management of the vascular complications and defers the need for nephrectomy. In this study, we aimed to evaluate various vascular injuries after renal biopsy requiring interventions. Pseudoaneurysm was the most common form of arterial injury. Target vessel was identied by angiography and successful embolization was done deferring nephrectomy. Deaths occurred due to haemorrhage.
