What complication may occur following an intervention in renal arteries?

Following an intervention in the renal arteries, one potential complication is the development of a renal artery aneurysm. This can occur due to trauma to the vessel wall during procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, or nephrectomy. The manipulation can weaken the arterial wall, potentially leading to localized dilatation and the formation of an aneurysm, which may pose significant risks such as rupture or thrombosis.

In the context of renal artery interventions, it is essential to be vigilant for signs of complications like aneurysms because they can affect renal blood flow and lead to ischemia or other renal-related issues. Monitoring patients after such interventions for irregularities in renal function or changes in blood pressure is crucial for early detection and management of any resulting complications.
