Abstract
-
A case of leaking abdominal aortic pseudoaneurysm following treatment of bilateral renal stones by extracopored shock wave lithotripsy(ESWL) is presented. Screening of the abdominal aortic pathology is recommended for a patient who needs ESWL for treatment of renal stones. Ultrasonography may be the diagnostic procedure of choice for pre- and post-ESWL evaluation of abdominal aortic pathology.
