Abstract

Post operative bleeding following Per Cutaneous Nephro Lithotomy (PCNL) is one of the most dreaded complications of PCNL. Even though most of the post-PCNL bleeds subside with conservative management, Super-selective Angio Embolisation (SAE) is an effective means of controlling post-PCNL bleed. We describe a case presenting with bleed after removal of nephrostomy tube. Evaluation revealed pseudoaneurysm in segmental renal artery. SAE relieved the symptoms.
