Open Partial Nephrectomy for High-Risk Renal Masses Is Associated with Renal Pseudoaneurysms: Assessment of a Severe Procedure-Related Complication

<div>Preoperative CT scan, CTA, and arterial embolization of PRA. (a) Preoperative CT-scan of a central endophytic renal mass (red arrow). ((b), (c)) Transversal and coronary view of a postoperative CT-scan showing a RPA in the former resection area (red arrow). (d) Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) of the lower pole segmental renal artery showing the RPA. (e) Superselective DSA via microcatheter after embolization with 4 microcoils showing remaining perfusion of the RPA. (f) Superselective DSA via microcatheter after another 4 min: total occlusion of the RP with rest perfusion of the lower pole.</div>
