Surgical treatment of aortoiliac aneurysms in renal transplant patients

Abstract: Open repair of aortoiliac aneurysms can be safely undertaken in renal transplant recipients without protection of the transplanted kidney. In the long-term follow-up, these patients are exposed to complications of general arteriosclerosis and to rejection of their transplanted kidney. Aortic aneurysms following kidney transplantation are likely to become more frequent in the future due to extension of renal transplantation to older and severely arteriosclerotic patients.

“…Poor results were also observed in another study with 10% perioperative mortality due to myocardial infarction and loss of up to 23% of allografts implanted on a vascular prosthesis [7]. Other studies showed good results of kidney transplantation in association with alloplastic prosthesis replacement procedures [5,6,11,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22]. Our own experience in 4 cases is in line with these findings.…”

“…Conventional open repair can be done safely. Lacombe reported the open repair of aortoiliac aneurysm in 18 patients with kidney transplantation without mortality [7]. During the open repair, however, aortic cross clamping was needed.…”

“…This translates into increased number of patients with ESRD in association to aortoiliac atherosclerotic and aneurysmal diseases, who require surgical and/or endovascular repair of diseased arteries [5]. Aortoiliac reconstruction is advocated as preparation for KT when significant atherosclerosis is noted [6,7]. Since long-term survival of kidney transplant patients was paralleled by increases in AAA development [8], this suggests that advanced ESRD needing KT, and advanced PAD requiring surgical or endovascular correction can be done either simultaneously, or alternatively after surgical or interventional treatment of the other.…”
