Abstract
Vessel rupture complicating transluminal angioplasty is an uncommon event, especially in the renal artery. The authors report such a case, which was treated with immediate balloon tamponade and did not require surgical intervention. Possible causes and appropriate management are discussed, as well as the need for reporting angioplasty-related complications to a registry being developed by the Society of Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology.
