Occult renal artery pseudoaneurysm causing persistent hematuria after flexible Thulium fibered laser lithotripsy: A case report and literature review of rare but potentially fatal complication
Renal artery pseudoaneurysm may develop after laser flexible ureteroscopy stone lithotripsy (FURSL). Typical symptoms include flank pain, persistent hematuria, delayed refractory anemia, or hemorrhagic shock in case of pseudoaneurysm rupture. This complication of laser FURSL is very rare with only f...

description | Renal artery pseudoaneurysm may develop after laser flexible ureteroscopy stone lithotripsy (FURSL). Typical symptoms include flank pain, persistent hematuria, delayed refractory anemia, or hemorrhagic shock in case of pseudoaneurysm rupture. This complication of laser FURSL is very rare with only five cases reported in the literature as of April 2023, of which one involved Thulium laser. We report the case of a 65-year-old man with recurrent renal lithiasis who underwent FURSL using Thulium fibered laser (TFL) for 8 mm stone of left kidney upper pole. Persistent hematuria developed postoperatively, secondary to a pseudoaneurysm from a segmental branch of the left renal artery. It was diagnosed on arteriography performed for sudden hemorrhagic shock 27 days after surgery. Selective embolization with metallic micro-coils resolved hematuria. Although laser FURSL is often uncomplicated and TFL is regarded as safe, this complication should be suspected when refractory hematuria or hemodynamic instability follows the procedure. We report this case to add support to the current literature and outline procedural risk factors and useful precautions during the procedure. |
