Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are rare lesions with a prevalence of less than 1% in the general population. Renal arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are rare lesions with an estimated incidence of less than 0.04%. The coexistence of these two clinical entities is extremely rare and narrows the available treatment options by endovascular or open surgery. We describe a case of a giant symptomatic RAA type III, which was combined with a high-flow renal AVM in the right kidney. Using two vascular plugs, the RAA was excluded successfully. The perfusion of the right kidney's lower pole was preserved by implantation of two covered stents in the inferior segmental renal artery.
肾动脉动脉瘤(RAAs)是罕见病变,在普通人群中的患病率不到1%。肾动静脉畸形(AVMs)是罕见病变,估计发病率低于0.04%。这两种临床实体同时存在极为罕见,使得血管内或开放手术的可用治疗选择受限。我们描述了一例巨大的有症状III型RAA病例,其合并右侧肾脏的高流量肾AVM。使用两个血管栓塞成功排除了RAA。通过在肾下段动脉植入两个覆膜支架,保留了右肾下极的灌注。
