Pseudoaneurysms postangioplasty of the renal artery: case reports and review of the literature

Abstract

Pseudoaneurysms postangioplasty of the renal artery are a life-threatening complication but are poorly known due to their rarity. The aim of this report is to study this complication through three personal case reports and 10 cases found in a literature review. The data analysis led us to highlight important aspects about four main elements: initial procedure events, time to presentation, symptoms leading to diagnosis, and treatment.
