Popis: Renal artery embolism is an infrequent entity that occurs in patients with underlying cardiac diseases. Diagnosis is usually difficult unless the index of suspicion is high. Local thrombolysis with low-dose fibrinolytic agents is an useful therapeutic intervention. We present 2 cases of renal artery embolism treated with intra-arterial urokinase and review clinical features and therapeutic options.
