Abstract
Aortic surgery in renal transplant recipients requires a method of mai ntaining intraoperative graft perfusion. Here we present a case in whi ch temporary axillo-femoral bypass was used to perfuse a renal transpl ant during the aortic aneurysm repair; the rationale of inserting the temporary axillo-femoral bypass on transverse arteriotomies is pointed out. Other methods of renal graft perfusion are discussed.
