Abstract:
Herein, we report the case of a 75-year-old male diagnosed with an infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm complicated by a horseshoe kidney. Coexistence of a horseshoe kidney and abdominal aortic aneurysm is a rare entity that presents a technical challenge to vascular surgeons regarding the surgical approach and reconstruction of the accessory renal arteries. Accurate and detailed preoperative studies are required to optimize surgical procedures. 3-dimensional images reconstructed from computed tomography data may be useful for visualizing complex anatomies. Open surgical repair of the aneurysm was successfully performed using virtual imaging.
