Abstract
We are reporting endovascular management of a renal artery aneurysm causing renal
hypertension. The aneurysm by mass effect compressed the adjacent artery resulting
in a hemodynamically significant stenosis. Endovascular management included embosphere
embolization of the renal parenchyma distal to the stenosed segment and hydrocoil
embolization of the aneurysm itself.
