Renal artery aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are rare vascular abnormalities. These anomalies, which are usually asymptomatic, may be associated with hypertension. Here, we present the successful treatment of a renal artery pseudoaneurysm in a patient with hypertension, with an overview of the literature.
