Three 25‐ to 30‐kg adult mongrel dogs had nonsurgical experimentally induced unilateral renal artery perforations produced by a rotating guide wire tip. The guide wire was introduced via a percutaneous femoral artery puncture. Baseline arteriograms were compared with serial postperforation arteriograms made over a three‐month peirod, and the natural history and healing rate of these lesions were assessed. In the three‐dog study, the renal artery perforations were self‐limiting. The dogs'healing processes alone seemed adequate in preserving both renal and renal artery function.
