Abstract

HERNANDO ARTECHE, A. et al. Pseudoaneurysm of the main renal artery associated to cecal fistula after radical nephrectomy: a clinical case and literature review. Sanid. Mil. [online]. 2014, vol.70, n.2, pp.95-97. ISSN 1887-8571.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1887-85712014000200005.

Vascular complications secondary to surgical treatment of localized kidney cancer are more frequent when a nephron-sparing surgery is performed. However, radical nephrectomy is not exempt from them. We report the case of a pseudoaneurysm of the main renal artery with fistulous communication to ascending colon after radical nephrectomy. The patient presented with an episode of hypovolemic shock due to lower gastrointestinal bleeding.

Keywords : Renal artery pseudoaneurysm; arterial-enteric fistula; lower gastrointestinal bleeding; radical nephrectomy.
