We report on a patient who presented with perforation of the left main renal artery as a complication of a percutaneous retroperitoneal drainage procedure. Only a small number of cases of iatrogenic main renal artery perforations have been reported, none of them due to a percutaneous drainage attempt. Endovascular treatment by means of a coronary stent-graft was successful.
