Abstract

Traumatic renovascular injury secondary to blunt abdominal trauma is rare, especially cases involving renal artery avulsion. We present a unique case of bilateral traumatic renal artery avulsion that was successfully treated endovascularly with bilateral stenting and thrombectomy, resulting in a nephron sparing outcome and cessation of dialysis.

Keywords

blunt abdominal trauma - renal artery avulsion - bilateral renal artery stenting
