Abstract
We describe the case of an 80-year-old man who underwent surgical repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm with horseshoe kidney. We performed open surgery by a transperitoneal approach via a standard median laparotomy, and noted that the right accessory renal artery had 1 branch and the left accessory renal artery had 2. We safely dissected these arteries using a Harmonic scalpel. The aneurysm was successfully replaced using a Dacron straight graft, and all renal arteries were preserved. Renal infarction and renal dysfunction did not occur during the uneventful postoperative course.
