- Abstract:
- Our objective was to assess the prevalence and history of arteriovenous fistula after renal biopsy in pediatric patients by the use of color Doppler sonography. Fifty patients, aged 6 days to 18.5 years, underwent sonographically guided renal biopsy. Color Doppler sonography was performed prior to, during, and after the procedure. Postbiopsy hematoma was detected in 46 patients (92%), of whom 10 suffered clinically significant bleeds. Six patients (age range, 8 to 18.5 years) developed postbiopsy arteriovenous fistula. In three cases the arteriovenous fistula diminished spontaneously, one persisted without symptoms, and two symptomatic arteriovenous fistulas needed coil implantation. Color Doppler sonography demonstrated all arteriovenous fistulas 4 hours after the procedure and duplex Doppler sonography demonstrated the flow disturbances in the feeding and draining vessels. We conclude that color Doppler sonography allows noninvasive detection and follow-up study of postbiopsy arteriovenous fistula, thus helping to define management after interventional procedures.
