Core Tip
Core Tip: Arterial hemorrhage, one of the complications associated with post partial nephrectomy, primarily arises from an injury to the distal end of the renal artery located at the kidney’s resection margin. Herein, we present a rare case of hemorrhage following partial nephrectomy that originated from a perinephric branch of the testicular artery, arising from the segmental artery of the renal artery. Despite the absence of active bleeding on computed tomography scan, preemptive angiographic evaluation based on a strong clinical suspicion of hemorrhage was performed. This afforded precise bleeding site identification, followed by successful transcatheter arterial embolization. It is noteworthy that arterial hemorrhage after partial nephrectomy can originate not only from the renal artery but also from the perinephric branches of nonrenal arteries, including the testicular artery.
