ALMEIDA-LOPES, José; BRANDAO, Daniel  and  MANSILHA, Armando. Stent-assisted coil embolization of a renal aneurysm. Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2014, vol.10, n.2, pp.76-80. ISSN 1646-706X.

The authors present a rare case-report of a 33 years old, male patient with a saccular aneurysm of the right renal artery with 2.1 cm. The carried out treatment to exclude the aneurysm was done by placing a self-expanding open cells with 5×20 mm in the aneurysm neck and coils embolization, released through the mesh of the stent. During follow-up, the patient maintained an adequate renal function, without hypertension and the angio-CT revealed complete exclusion of the aneurysmal sac, as well as the permeability of the segmental renal arteries, integrity of the stent placed, with no signs of renal infarction or atrophy. Additionally a review of the literature is performed upon the possible complications and the current treatment options. © 2014 Sociedade Portuguesa de Angiologia e Cirurgia Vascular.
