Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Nephrology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) were once rare but are now more frequently diagnosed due to advances in angiography.
  • RAAs can stem from medial hyperplasia or atherosclerosis, presenting with varied, non-specific symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the characteristics, indications for surgery, and outcomes of renal artery aneurysm repair.
  • To highlight kidney preservation as the primary surgical goal.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 56 patients with 67 renal artery aneurysms.
  • Surgical repair techniques included primary repair, nephrectomy, and autotransplantation for dissecting aneurysms.
  • Hypothermic perfusion was utilized for safe surgical intervention.

Main Results:

  • Surgery was performed on 17 patients (30%); 14 had primary repair, 3 underwent nephrectomy.
  • Kidney preservation was achieved in most cases.
  • Of 12 hypertensive patients, 9 were cured and 3 showed improved control post-repair.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical repair of renal artery aneurysms is effective, with kidney preservation being paramount.
  • Repair can successfully resolve intractable hypertension in a significant number of patients.
