Fig. 2 (a) Computed tomography (CT) scan showing a grade 5 traumatic injury of the left kidney; (b) a coronal reformatted image showing the shattered renal parenchyma and a lower-pole pseudoaneurysm; (c) selective angiography of the kidney prior to embolization identifies a pseudoaneurysm; (d) superselective angiography shows the pseudoaneurysm prior to embolization; (e) following embolization, the occluding microcoils can be seen, and there is nonfilling of the pseudoaneurysm.

Fig. 3 (a) A contrast-enhanced arterial phase computed tomography (CT) image showing an intact arterial supply with multiple deep parenchymal lacerations in the right kidney; (b) a follow-up image showing preserved perfusion of the kidney, contrast excretion, and approximation of the shattered parenchymal fragments; (c) dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) scan of the same patient shows loss of perfusion of the ipsilateral upper pole with preserved function of the remaining part, with split function of 30%.
