Abstract:
A fifty-two-year-old male renal transplant patient underwent aortoiliac reconstruction with a bifurcated prosthesis for treatment of hypertension and deteriorating allograft function. A modified technique was used that reduced aortic cross-clamping time to twelve minutes. This simple technique is applicable to most patients, reduces warm ischemia to a minimum, and saves time for a careful aortoiliac reconstruction.
