Abstract

Renal artery aneurysms are rare. The indication for treatment at 20mm diameter comes from studies conducted before the advent of cross-sectional imaging. We present a case of a 61years-old woman with a 23mm saccular right renal artery aneurysm under surveillance for 6 years without growing.
