PG - 413-6 AB - A 74-year male patient was admitted to our department with a left renal artery aneurysm (RAA). It was detected by a computed tomography (CT) scan while performing an examination for hypertension. The diameter of the aneurysm was 25 mm. There was no evidence of calcification. Selective left renal angiography and a 3-dimensional (3D)-CT image revealed a saccular renal aneurysm in the left main renal artery. Because of the risk of rupture, autotransplantation of the left kidney to the left iliac fossa was performed after resecting the aneurysm and reconstructing the left artery under bench surgery. Postoperative 3D-CT revealed no stenosis. This ex-vivo technique and autotransplantation into ipsilateral iliac fossa are both effective and safe for the treatment of RAA.
