Abstract
Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) is a relatively uncommon occurrence, but it can be life-threatening when rupture (although rare) occurs. We present the successful endovascular treatment of a ruptured RAA, which was achieved by packing the aneurysm using Guglielmi and interlocking detachable coils.
