Abstract:
A 53 year old woman needed surgical management of an anastomotic pseudoaneurysm after renal transplant. Contrast enhanced computed tomography demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm arising off of the right external iliac artery. Considering the risk of potentially sacrificing her renal transplant, we elected to perform endovascular repair with parallel stent grafting. The operation was successful and postoperative course uneventful illustrating that this approach may be beneficial in similar circumstances.
