Renal arteriovenous fistula is classified into idiopathic, acquired and congenital. Endovascular therapy has become the gold standard compared to surgery. We present the embolization procedure of a renal fistula postbiopsy in a 57-year-old female patient through the use of St. Jude Medical Amplatzer vascular Plug IV. Although numerous embolizing agents are available, plug type IV has numerous advantages in terms of procedure times, speed of embolization and precision of the occlusion, but with a relative increase in costs.

Abstract
Renal arteriovenous fistula is classified into idiopathic, acquired and congenital. Endovascular therapy has become the gold standard compared to surgery. We present the embolization procedure of a renal fistula postbiopsy in a 57-year-old female patient through the use of St. Jude Medical Amplatzer vascular Plug IV. Although numerous embolizing agents are available, plug type IV has numerous advantages in terms of procedure times, speed of embolization and precision of the occlusion, but with a relative increase in costs.File in questo prodotto:
