Renal Arteriovenous Fistula; Possibility of Misdiagnosis and Successful Management: A Case Report
Journal Title: Multidisciplinary Cardiovascular Annals - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction Renal arteriovenous fistula is a rare clinical entity which may have a serious effect on the hemodynamics. Case Presentation We report a case of renal arteriovenous fistula with undetermined diagnosis at her first presentation. Finally after 9 years her problem was diagnosed and managed successfully with coil embolization. Conclusions We should consider renal arteriovenous fistula as a differential diagnosis for hematuria. The gold standard modality for evaluation is DSA. Endovascular management is the best treatment.
