Renal angiography demonstrates pseudoaneurysms involving three
subsegmental branches of the right renal artery and active contrast
extravasation from a fourth subsegmental branch. Selective catheterization
and coil embolization performed of each subsegmental branch to stasis.
Post embolization right renal angiography showed resolution of the
pseudoaneurysms and areas of active contrast extravasation. Mass effect
upon the right kidney seen from known perinephric hematoma.
