Percutaneous Transluminal Embolisation of Intraparenchymal Pseudoaneurism and High Flow Arteriovenous Fistula Developed After Biopsy in Renal Allograft: Case Report

confirm diagnosis and for treatment. In her Abstract: In transplantation practice percutaneous needle biopsy is very important in renal allograft management. After biopsy, vascular complicatons like AVF and pseudoaneurism can occur rarely and because of they are generally asymptomatic their diagnosis could delay. We detected an intraparenchymal giant pseudoaneurism and high flow AVF in renal allograft while we search for etiology of hypertension and deterioration of renal functions for 2 months in 27 years old woman patient who has history of renal biopsy 7 years ago and renal transplantation from live donor 9 years ago. Due to presence of rupture risk, renal hypertension and dysfunction, vascular lesion was treated successfully with percutaneous transluminal embolisation. If transcutaneous needle biopsy was applied to renal allograft and there is a clinical symptom or vascular complication finding, imaging of allograft with Color Duplex Doppler ultrasonography (US)
