TI  - A case of a living-related kidney transplantation after ex-vivo repair of the 
      donor renal artery aneurysm.
PG  - 90-92
AB  - BACKGROUND: Kidney transplantation is the definite surgical treatment for 
      end-stage renal disease. Shortage of organs and the increasing number of patients 
      with end-stage renal disease has led to an expansion of the selection criteria 
      promoting the use of organs from marginal donors. Use of kidneys with renal 
      artery aneurysm (RAA) is one such example. Description of the case: We report a 
      case of living-related kidney transplantation from a 46-year-old female donor 
      with unilateral RAA to her 68-year-old father. The pre-operative donor's 
      assessment with a computed tomography angiogram revealed a saccular aneurysm of 
      the left renal artery. The transplant team proceeded to the left nephrectomy, 
      surgical ex vivo repair of the aneurysm and transplantation of this kidney to the 
      recipient, with the total ischemic time of 130 minutes. At revascularization, 
      there was no anastomotic leak with good perfusion of the organ and normal 
      postoperative kidney function. CONCLUSION: RAA is a rare renal anatomical 
      abnormality with unproven clinical significance. Advanced microvascular surgical 
      techniques can be used to repair the aneurysm with subsequent successful use for 
      transplantation. Hippokratia 2016, 20(1): 90-92.
