Abstract

Introduction: Post operative bleeding following Per Cutaneous Nephro Lithotomy (PCNL) is one of the most dreaded complications of PCNL. Even though most of the post-PCNL bleeds subside with conservative management, Super-selective Angio Embolisation (SAE) is an effective means of controlling post-PCNL bleed.

Case Presentation: We describe a case presenting with bleed after removal of nephrostomy tube.

Diagnosis and Management: Evaluation revealed pseudoaneurysm in segmental renal artery. SAE relieved the symptoms.

Keywords: PCNL, Horseshoe Kidney (HSK), SAE (Selective Artery Angioembolization)
