Renal arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are a rare condition that can be acquired, congenital, or idiopathic. Idiopathic AVF are the rarest type of renal AVF. Traditionally, renal AVF were treated with surgery, but the mainstay of treatment has shifted to an endovascular approach by coil embolization. Embolization procedures are often difficult secondary to the "high flow" of the AVF, and there is the substantial risk of distal embolization of coils. We present a case in which an idiopathic renal AVF was successfully embolized with an Amplatzer vascular plug.
肾动静脉瘘（AVF）是一种罕见的病症，可后天获得、先天性或特发性。特发性AVF是肾AVF中最罕见的类型。传统上，肾AVF通过手术治疗，但治疗的主要手段已转向通过线圈栓塞的血管内介入方法。由于AVF的“高流量”，栓塞手术通常很困难，并且存在线圈远端栓塞的重大风险。我们报告一例特发性肾AVF成功使用Amplatzer血管封堵器进行栓塞的病例。
