Percutaneous intervention of spontaneous renal artery dissection complicated with renal infarction: a case report and literature review

Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2003 Nov;60(3):335-8. doi: 10.1002/ccd.10657.

Abstract

Spontaneous renal artery dissection (SRAD) is a rare condition that occurs before renal infarction. Using percutaneous intervention to treat SRAD remains controversial because it is not clear whether it is feasible or effective. We describe a 48-year-old male patient with SRAD complicated with renal infarction who was successfully treated with percutnaeous angioplasty and renal artery stenting.
