Abstract

Two patients who had transplant nephrectomy performed for rejection of a previously transplanted human cadaver allograft kidney subsequently developed complications due to a false aneurysm of the external iliac artery. Treatment was successfully carried out by ligation of the external iliac artery without any significant ischaemic problems in the corresponding lower limb.
