Abstract

This case report illustrates how a life-threatening renal bleeding which has failed to be controlled by open surgery can be elegantly managed by a minimally invasive technique of interventional radiology. It also allows maximal conservation of renal tissue so that the patient can avoid chronic dialysis or renal transplantation.
