Abstract:
Congenital renal arteriovenous fistula is a rare disease and manifested by gross hematuria, bladder tamponade and flank pain. We experienced one case of congenital renal arteriovenous firstula which was cirsoid type and treated with superselective transcatheter arterial embolization of four small segmental arteries. The microcoils made of platinum and synthetic fiber were used as theembolization modality.
