Abstract
Renal artery dissection may be caused by iatrogenic injury, trauma, or underlying arterial disease such as fibromuscular disease, atherosclerotic disease, or connective tissue disease. The treatment for renal artery dissection is chosen based on the patient’s hemodynamic status, renal function, and the feasibility of the treatment modality. However treatment and long-term management of renal artery dissection is controversial. A 43 year-old man visited the emergency department after being jammed in a cultivator. He complained of abdominal pain and vomiting. We performed abdominopelvic computed tomography and found a right renal artery dissection with infarction. At 24 hours after the accident, he was treated with balloon dilatation and endovascular stenting of the right renal artery. He was discharged without renovascular hypertension or renal insufficiency complications. (Korean J Med 77:S1237-S1240, 2009)
