A Case of Iliac Artery Aneurysm after Renal Transplantation

Abstract

We present a case of an iliac artery aneurysm repair in a 51-year-old man, who underwent renal transplantation at the age of 25 years. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography demonstrated a saccular aneurysm at the right common and internal iliac artery. During aortic clamping, the transplanted kidney was preserved through an axillo-femoral artery bypass and cold renal perfusion. Revascularization was accomplished with a bifurcated graft. No significant postoperative complications were observed. The patient’s recovery was uneventful, and his renal function returned to preoperative values.
