A rare case of concurrent proximal and hilar renal artery aneurysm with renal arteriovenous fistula.

ABSTRACT

Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) and renal arteriovenous fistula are rare vascular pathologies with reported incidences of 0.3% to 1.0% and 0.04% in the general population, respectively. We describe a 61-year-old Caucasian man who presented to the hospital with symptoms of right flank pain. Imaging demonstrated a right RAA with concurrent hilar RAA and renal arteriovenous fistula. He ultimately underwent an open right nephrectomy, ligation of the fistula, and bovine patch repair of the aortic defect.
