Can we predict a rare but dangerous kidney artery complication after stone surgery?
NCT ID NCT07724912
First seen Jul 24, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026
Summary
This study examines why some people develop a renal artery pseudoaneurysm — a bulge in a kidney artery — after a common procedure to remove kidney stones (PCNL). Researchers will review medical records from multiple hospitals to identify risk factors, symptoms, and how well treatments like embolization work. The goal is to better understand this complication and improve patient care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help identify patients at higher risk for this complication and improve treatment guidelines.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, retrospective study that looks back at past cases, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all hospitals or patients.
