Prevalence of renal artery aneurysm is very low in the general population and it is thought to develop due to atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia. Rupture is among the most feared complications due to its high mortality rates. Surgical methods in renal artery aneurysm are complex with high morbidity rates. Endovascular approach with covered stent and coil embolization is a successful alternative treatment in adequate patients. In this article, we report a successful endovascular treatment of sequential saccular aneurysms extending to the hilar area in renal artery of solitary kidney with a flow-diverting multilayer stent where other endovascular methods were insufficient.
