Abdominal aorta angiography demonstrated that the abdominal aorta at the upper end of the left renal artery was widened (2.2 cm in diameter). The left renal artery (LRA) was obviously thickened (1.3 cm in diameter). The left renal vein (LRV) displayed early and the maximum diameter of the dilated drainage vein was up to 2.2 cm (L2) (a). The guidewire was inserted into the fistula through the left renal vein and demonstrated the fistula from multiple angles. The diameter of the RAVF was measured as 1.4 cm (L3) (b)
