A Unique Case of Bilateral Traumatic Renal Artery Avulsion Treated with Endovascular Stenting

Abstract

Traumatic renovascular injury secondary to blunt abdominal trauma is rare, especially cases involving renal artery avulsion. We present a unique case of bilateral traumatic renal artery avulsion that was successfully treated endovascularly with bilateral stenting and thrombectomy, resulting in a nephron sparing outcome and cessation of dialysis.
