An Unusual Vascular Complication Following Partial Nephrectomy: Case Report

Abstract

Development of a fistula between the main renal vessels after nephrectomy has heretofore been a rare occurrence, but its increasing frequency would seem to result from increased interest in detection of this fistula. The authors present a rare case of arteriovenous fistula following partial nephrectomy. Renal hyper tension following nephrectomy, also quite rare, developed in this case.
