Abstract

Tc-99m-DTPA renal scintigraphy was performed before and after transcatheter coll embolization in a patient with renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF). Before embolization, scintigraphy showed a characteristic accumulation pattern compatible with the hemodynamics of an aneurysmal type of AVF in the vascular phase. After embolization, the effects of treatment, such as a change in the split renal function on the treated-side and the disappearance of the shunt flow through the fistula were evident. It was concluded that dynamic renal scintigraphy was very useful for patients with an aneurysmal type of renal AVF scheduled for transcatheter embolization.
