Popis: Tc-99m MAG3 renal scintigraphy was performed before and after transcatheter steel coil embolization in a 55-year-old man with an aneurysmal type left renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Before embolization, dynamic renal scintigraphy revealed characteristic accumulation compatible with the hemodynamics of an aneurysmal type AVF in the vascular phase. Embolization changed the split renal function in the treated side, and shunt flow through the fistula disappeared. Dynamic renal scintigraphy might be very useful in evaluating patients with hemodynamic renal AVF scheduled for transcatheter embolization.
