[Surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms after renal transplantation]

A new technique of abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy in renal transplant patients is described. The main features of this technique are: 1) absence of protective measures against kidney ischemia, 2) minimal duration of circulatory arrest for the transplant, 3) preservation of retrograde flow from aortic branches during aortic clamping, 4) management of aneurysmal sac postponed after renal revascularization. This technique was used in six patients with satisfactory results.
