Resection of Suprarenal Aortic Aneurysm With Autotransplantation of the Kidney

PMCID: PMC1343802  PMID: 4279633

Abstract

This is a report of a patient with renovascular hypertension associated with a suprarenal aortic aneurysm that was treated by nephrectomy, resection of the aneurysm and autotransplantation of the kidney. The autografted kidney was preserved on the Mox-100 perfusion-preservation apparatus for over four hours, during which time the aneurysm was resected and replaced with a Dacron bifurcated graft. The authors believe this is the safest method for the management of aneurysms of the suprarenal aorta, especially when associated with renovascular disease, and it deserves wider application in treating major renovascular disease.
