Abstract

Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) and renal arteriovenous fistula are rare vascular pathologies with reported incidences of 0.3% to 1.0% and 0.04% in the general population, respectively. We describe a 61-year-old Caucasian man who presented to the hospital with symptoms of right flank pain. Imaging demonstrated a right RAA with concurrent hilar RAA and renal arteriovenous fistula. He ultimately underwent an open right nephrectomy, ligation of the fistula, and bovine patch repair of the aortic defect.
