Abstract

We report the case of a 50-year-old man who presented to our institution with septic thrombosis of the renal vein which had not resolved despite several days of antibiotic therapy. Optimal restoration of renal vein flow was obtained by percutaneous manual aspiration embolectomy (PMAE) in this patient with contraindication to fibrinolytic therapy and surgery.
