ABSTRACT

Renal vascular abnormalities included in this review are renal artery aneurysms (RAA) and renal arteriovenous malformations (AVM). The clinical presentation, diagnosis, and principles of management with emphasis on endovascular techniques are discussed.

KEYWORDS

Renal artery aneurysm - renal arteriovenous malformation - embolization
