The rate of bleeding complications related to percutaneous native renal biopsy is low, and pseudoaneurysms of the extrarenal arteries are rare. There have been a few reports of extrarenal artery injuries related to renal biopsy; however, to the best of our knowledge, there have not been any reports of injuries to the ileocolic artery or multiple injuries to extrarenal arteries. Herein, we report the case of an 87-year-old man who developed multiple vascular injuries: an arteriovenous fistula at the lower pole of the right kidney, pseudoaneurysms of the second lumbar artery, and an ileocolic artery 19 days after renal biopsy. Although identifying an ileocolic artery pseudoaneurysm was slightly delayed due to its rarity, all vascular injuries were successfully embolized with microcoils.
