Abstract:
A 79-year old patient with an asymptomatic 63-mm infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm, confirmed on computed tomography, was admitted in our unit. The patient had undergone kidney transplantation years before, due to renal failure secondary to polycystic kidney disease. Renal function at admission was normal. The aneurysm had a very short neck, and a standard endovascular aortic repair procedure was not feasible. Therefore, the 2 renal arteries were embolized with coils and endovascular repair of the aneurysm, covering the ostia of the renal arteries, was achieved placing the endoprosthesis up to the level of the superior mesenteric artery. The course of the patient was uneventful and was discharged without complications. Endovascular repair in patients without infrarenal aortic necks and nonfunctional kidneys secondary to polycystic kidney disease can be achieved with safety embolizing and covering the ostia of the renal arteries.
