The role of renal scintigraphy in renal arteriovenous malformation treated by transcatheter arterial embolization

Clin Nucl Med. 2002 Dec;27(12):877-82. doi: 10.1097/00003072-200212000-00006.

Abstract

A 41-year-old woman was hospitalized because of gross hematuria. She was found to have a renal arteriovenous malformation and was treated with transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). Renal scintigraphy with Tc-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine was performed before and after TAE. Renal scintigraphy was useful for evaluating renal function in this patient.
