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.

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