Active bleeding after kidney biopsy: Successful ultrasound-guided direct thrombin embolization into the cortical fistula.
Journal of Clinical Ultrasound : JCU 2020 October 25
A 27-year-old man, previously diagnosed with IgA nephropathy, was referred for native kidney biopsy. After the procedure, the patient presented active bleeding revealed by Doppler and contrast-enhanced ultrasonography at the biopsy site. Successful embolization of the cortical fistula, the focus of bleeding, was achieved using ultrasound-guided thrombin injection and confirmed by Doppler ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography, and CT angiography. This case report shows that contrast-enhanced ultrasonography is useful for detecting active bleeding after a solid organ biopsy. Moreover, ultrasound-guided thrombin embolization is a safe and minimally invasive treatment and an alternative to angiography-guided embolization.
