Abstract

Renal artery embolization is the treatment of choice for massive hemorrhage after percutaneous nephrolithotomy. Late coil migration is a known complication after embolization. We report an unusual case of early coil migration causing ureteric obstruction and postulate on risk factors for this phenomenon.
