Purpose: We report a case of revascularization for a totally occluded renal artery using endovascular renal thrombus aspiration followed by catheter-directed thrombolysis.Case Report: A 56 years old man presented with sudden onset of severe left-sided abdominal and loin pain for six hours. Urgent computed tomography angiogram showed total occlusion of left renal artery. Emergency selective left renal angiogram and thrombus aspiration using a 5-French Cobra catheter was performed. Catheter-directed thrombolysis with urokinase was initiated after aspiration thrombectomy. Angiogram 24 hours after thrombolysis showed the left renal artery and its segmental branches were successfully revascularized. Patient was on anticoagulation after operation and his renal function recovered well.Conclusion: Percutaneous aspiration thrombectomy combined with intra-arterial local fibrinolysis are effective in the salvage of renal function. |
