This is the first case report of a catastrophic renal bleeding into the renal collecting system causing hemorrhagic shock in a child after a cardiac catheterization. In this case report, we discuss how we used nontraditional means of endourologic intervention in treating our hemodynamically unstable patient resulting in saving the patient's life and kidney.
