Unusual cause of postrenal biopsy anuria in a renal transplant patient.   Am J Med Sci, 341(3): 250-2.

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an uncommon but well-known complication of percutaneous renal biopsy. Most postbiopsy AVFs are asymptomatic and regress spontaneously; however, some AVFs result in hypertension, hematuria and renal insufficiency. Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a potentially curable cause of posttransplant arterial hypertension, allograft dysfunction and graft loss. Whether postbiopsy AVF superimposed on TRAS also regresses spontaneously is unknown. The authors present ... [Abstract] [Full-text]

Endovascular treatment of a patient with an aneurysm of the proper hepatic artery and a duodenal fistula.   J Vasc Surg, 53(3): 814-7.

Aneurysms of the proper hepatic artery comprise a rare but potentially dangerous entity for which treatment is performed both surgically and endovascularly. Covered stents are generally used for endovascular treatment of such aneurysms. When the aneurysm is contaminated due to an enteric fistula, however, use of a covered stent is considered inappropriate. This case report describes the endovascular repair of a proper hepatic artery aneurysm using overlapping bare metal stents after the patient ... [Abstract] [Full-text]
