From: Fogarty-assisted transcatheter embolization of a large renal high-flow arteriovenous fistula
Initial arteriogram (A) of the right kidney with double artery perfusion, of which the caudal renal artery was stented in 1997. Presence of a subcapsular arteriovenous fistula in the upper renal lobe proved progressively increasing in size, with increasing risk of rupture, prompting indication for transarterial embolization. Catheterization of the high-flow RAVF showed immediate drainage into the inferior vena cava (B). Usage of a Fogarty occlusion catheter (C: yellow perforated circle) allowed for flow modulation and trans-catheter embolization via a mixture of coils and glue. Post-embolization angiogram (D) reveals complete occlusion of the AVF with coils (D: red perforated circle) and vascular plugs (D: red arrows)
