Abstract

Abstract: Management approaches for renal trauma vary from conservative methods for contusions to surgical interventions for severe injuries. Postoperative renal artery embolization (RAE) is crucial to control bleeding and preserve renal parenchymal tissue integrity. We reported a patient presented with hematuria 30 minutes after sustaining a stab wound to the right waist, accompanied by severe pain, dizziness, and cold sweats. Physical examination revealed a penetrating wound in the right flank, gross hematuria, and signs of hypovolemic shock. The patient was diagnosed with grade II hypovolemic shock due to a renal laceration and duodenal rupture, initial resuscitation and conservative management were followed by exploratory laparotomy and renorrhaphy. Persistent gross hematuria post-renorrhaphy necessitated embolization. Hypovolemic shock resulted from significant bleeding from duodenal and renal lacerations. Renorrhaphy effectively minimized renal parenchymal damage without urine extravasation. Subsequent angiography revealed gross hematuria, indicating renal arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Embolization using a vortex coil successfully managed bleeding from large vessels and improved perfusion in the lesion area. In conclusion, renal trauma poses serious risks, including hypotension and hemorrhagic shock. Prompt resuscitation followed by surgical repair and angiographic embolization are essential. Embolization remains a generally safe and effective method for achieving selective hemostasis in such cases. Keywords: renal trauma; gross hematuria; renorrhaphy; renal-artery embolization

Abstract

Abstract: Pseudoaneurysms of the extremity are rare and may present acutely or subacutely. Very rarely, the presence of thromboembolism in the aneurysm can result in terminal ischemia, gangrene, and amputation. Only early diagnosis and treatment can prevent progression to significant disability. This case report described a 36-year-old male referred to the hospital with a complaint of a lump in the upper left arm for two months before admission. The patient reported a history of being punctured by a nail, and one week later, an enlarging lump appeared. The patient also complained of a lump on the right chin for one month before hospital admission. The patient was then diagnosed with an impending rupture of the left brachial pseudoaneurysm due to a puncture wound in the left brachial and was scheduled for arterial repair. Although the diagnosis and treatment of the patient were delayed for two months and treated surgically, no immediate or late complications were seen. This case underscores the crucial role of timely diagnosis and surgical treatment, as upper extremity aneurysms can cause severe decreases in function and lead to the loss of an arm or fingers. The successful surgical reconstruction in this case is a motivating example of the preferred treatment for such patients. Keywords:  pseudoaneurysm; brachial artery; repair artery; delayed onset
