Abstract:
Objective To investigate the digital subtraction angiography (DSA) manifestations and clinical value of interventional embolization of renal artery with severe hemorrhage following percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).Methods 34 patients with severe hemorrhage following PCNL from Feb 2012 to Jun 2015 were subjected to perform renal arterial DSA, which was followed by super-selective renal arterial embolization (SRAE) with steel micro-coils and guglielmi detachable coils together with or without biological glue (GLUBRAN2). The patients were followed up for 6 ~ 12 months.Results Of the 34 patients, DSA examination showed that renal artery pseudoaneurysm (RAP) was found in 22 (64.7%), renal arteriovenous ifstula (RAVF) in 8 (23.5%) and RAP associated with RAVF in 4 (11.8%). Successful embolization with single session was achieved in all 34 patients. Both the technical success rate and the hemostasis rate were 100.0%. Meanwhile, the renal tissue and function were mainly reserved and no serious complication of embolization was observed. No hematuria recurrence or renal function failure appeared in all patients during the follow-up period. In 26 patients, different degree of embolism syndrome was observed after the treatment.Conclusions Renal artery pseudoaneurysm and renal arteriovenous ifstula are the main types of renal artery injury resulting in severe hemorrhage after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Super-selective renal arterial embolization (SRAE) with steel micro-coils and guglielmi detachable coils together with or without biological glue (GLUBRAN2) is a minimally invasive method that can promptly stop the renal bleeding, and preserve the renal tissue and function to the greatest possible advantage. Therefore, this technique should be regarded as the ifrst choice in the treatment of the patients who suffered from severe hemorrhage occurred after PCNL.
