The tailoring technique, which involves partial resection of an aneurysm followed by direct suture of the remaining arterial wall, is one of the surgical options for renal artery aneurysm (RAA). We evaluated the short- and long-term outcomes of eight patients who underwent surgery for saccular RAAs using the tailoring technique. Acute kidney injury was postoperatively reported in only one patient, and no patient required hemodialysis. During the long-term follow-up period (mean, 5.3±3.6 years), renal artery stenosis, renal artery occlusion, and RAA recurrence did not occur among the patients. Aneurysmorrhaphy using the tailoring technique is an effective surgical option because of its favorable long-term outcomes.
