AB  - Percutaneous renal surgen; can be utilized as treatment 
for a variety of urologic conditions. Percutaneous 
nephrolithotomy remains the treatment of choice for many 
large and complex renal calculi. Despite having a low 
overall complication rate, postoperative bleeding can 
occur. We report a case of significant hemorrhage from a 
renal pseduoaneurysm in a patient requiring 
anticoagulation following percutaneous nephrolithotomy. 
The bleeding was controlled by percutaneous coil 
embolization. Current management recommendations 
of postoperative hemorrhage following percutaneous renal 
surgery are reviewed.
