Abstract:
Organ shortage is the greatest challenge facing the field of organ transplantation in Korea. There are no reports of patients who have undergone endovascular aneurysm repair being considered as kidney donors. We successfully performed kidney transplant procedures in a 62-year-old man and a 57-year-old man using kidneys recovered from a 67-year-old female brain-dead donor who underwent endovascular aneurysm repair 6 months before organ retrieval. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of transplants performed with organs from a donor who previously underwent endovascular aneurysm repair.
