We presenL a case report of a 49year-old patient with ischemia of the left kidney due to a blood clot emboli of the renal artery. The patienL underwent a minimally invasive radiological intervention. The blood clot was removed using retrograde catheterization via the femoral artery. This condition developed due to congenital hypercoagulopathy caused by a homozygous mutation in the gene encoding for prothrombin (G20210A).
Keywords: kidney ischemia, renal artery emboli, renal arteriography miniinvasive embolectomy, coagulopathy, G20210A
