Resolution: standard / high Figure 6.
a) A 76 year old lady on warfarin presented with abdominal and back pain following
a fall. Contrast enhanced axial CT demonstrates retroperitoneal haematoma associated with
a ruptured right kidney and evidence of active contrast extravasaion (arrow). b) Selective catheterisation of the right kidney showed a bleeding focus in the upper
pole. c) The branch to the upper pole was selectively catheterised and embolised using a single
platinum coil (arrow). Post procedure renal arteriogram demonstrated cessation of
haemorrhage.
