Summary:Renal arteriovenous fistulas are unusual lesions with a variety of clinical manifestations. Congenital and acquired forms have been treated successfully with transcatheter embolization for 2 decades. In the case of large aneurysmal lesions the risk of inadvertent pulmonary embolism has traditionally precluded this approach and necessitated open surgery. However, with refinements in angiographic equipment and technique, such an approach is now feasible and desirable.
