Arteriovenous fistula after robotic partial nephrectomy: Case report and narrative review

[摘要] Arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) of the kidney are uncommon. They may be acquired, idiopathic or arise of congenital arteriovenous malformation . Acquired renal AVF are mostly iatrogenic due to the increasing number of mini-invasive nephron surgery. We report a case of renal AVF in a 65-year-old woman previously treated with left robotic partial nephrectomy (PN), which was successfully treated by endovascular coiling .
