Rupture of Right Common Iliac Pseudoaneurysm after Renal Transplantation

Abstract

A 72-year-old female admitted to our emergency unit complaining severe lumbar and abdominal pain. She underwent a living renal transplant form her husband 13 years prior to admission. Computed tomography demonstrated ruptured right common iliac aneurysm (35×52 mm in diameter) and extensive retroperitoneal hematoma. Emergent surgery was performed and ruptured common iliac aneurysm was replaced by 8 mm vascular prosthesis. After 37 days of maintenance hemodialysis, she recovered from renal failure and discharged from hospital with good health.
