Post-Biopsy False Arterial Aneurysm of a Transplanted Kidney: Treatment by Bucrylate Transcatheter Embolization

Abstract
A false arterial aneurysm of a transplanted [human] kidney was discovered by ultrasonography a few weeks after an open renal biopsy. The rapid increase in volume led to treatment of the lesion by bucrylate transcatheter embolization. The lesion disappeared without complications or sequelae. The renal transplant was functioning normally 30 mo. later.
