Renal arteriovenous fistula (rAVF) is an uncommon condition, usually iatrogenic and in most cases caused by percutaneous renal needle biopsy. This is a report of rAVF following flexible ureteroscopic electro-hydraulic lithotripsy of a lower pole renal calculus and its subsequent management. A high index of suspicion is required for the diagnosis of this rare complication, which is easily treated by radiological intervention.
肾动静脉瘘(rAVF)是一种罕见病症,通常为医源性,多数情况下由经皮肾穿刺活检引起。本文报告了一例因下极肾结石行软性输尿管镜下液电碎石术后发生肾动静脉瘘及其后续处理的病例。对于这种罕见并发症的诊断需要高度怀疑指数,其通过放射介入治疗很容易治愈。
