A 64-year-old man who had undergone a renal transplant 9 years earlier, was admitted to our hospital because of an asymptomatic, large, abdominal aortic aneurysm. During an introduction of a guide wire to the left common femoral artery dissection of iliac artery occurred with occlusion of graft renal artery. And endarterectomy of the common, external, and internal iliac arteries was performed, with no sufficient kidney inflow. A bypass was performed between the common iliac and the left common femoral artery with a kidney artery reanastomosis to the prosthesis. After 4 months of endovascular treatment of the aortic aneurysm, the patient's renal function remained unchanged.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
