Abstract

Renal artery angioplasty with stent placement represents an effective choice for correcting renal artery stenosis. However, if iatrogenic renal artery injury occurs, as in the case of solitary kidney, the risk of requiring chronic dialysis increases. This article reports the case of a patient with a solitary kidney, who underwent renal stenting and developed a retroperitoneal haematoma. The patient was managed conservatively and the perirenal haematoma resolved. Within the period of follow-up, the patient had maintained stable renal function with adequate blood pressure control.
