Abstract

We introduce here our case of a 4-cm, large saccular aneurysm in a patient with right flank pain that was treated by placement of a stent-graft via the left brachial artery. The large renal artery aneurysm was successfully occluded without any permanent sequela, although there were several complications that included intraprocedural renal arterial thrombosis, occlusion of the posterior segmental artery, a small thromboembolism in the left pons and a small arteriovenous fistula in the brachial artery. Stent-graft placement for treatment of renal arterial aneurysm is an effective and safe procedure, but the operator has to be cautious not to induce complications in case of using the brachial arterial approach.
