A "12mm renal artery aneurysm" can be serious and may need surgical revision. Get a referral to a urologist for guidance.

By UPTODATE: "indications for repair of RAA continue to evolve with a trend toward more conservative management of asymptomatic small RAA, provided the risk for rupture is not elevated (eg, female with childbearing potential or who is pregnant)". If you are ASYMPTOMATIC, the aneurysm of 1.2 cm should be observed without repair because it is a low risk case. RAA above 3 cm should be repaired.
