Abstract
A 78-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital after abdominal trauma. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan demonstrated a horseshoe kidney with a perinephric hematoma and evidence of arterial hemorrhage. An anomalous renal arterial anatomy was noted as well, with a renal artery originating from the left common iliac artery. He was successfully treated via an endovascular approach. Varying forms of vascularization may complicate angiographic treatment of patients with abdominal trauma in a setting of kidney anomalies. Obtaining and evaluating contrast-enhanced CT angiography can identify anomalous vessels and can be invaluable when deciding on the most appropriate interventional approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
