Successful covered stent-graft repair in symptomatic renal artery aneurysm early after childbirth.

Successful covered stent-graft repair in symptomatic renal artery aneurysm early after childbirth. J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 2017 Feb;58(1):95-98 Authors: Siani A, Gabrielli R, Accrocca F, Marcucci G Abstract Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) rupture during pregnancy is a rare but life-threatening event and few cases have been reported in literature. Currently the best approach, endovascular or surgical, seems to be under discussion. A case of a 31-year-old woman with a symptomatic right RAA detected three days after childbirth is reported. A successful endovascular repair by a covered stent-graft was performed. PMID: 28052662 [PubMed - in process]
