S. Belcastro et al., ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSMECTOMY ASSOCIATED WITH A NATIVE ILIAC KIDNEY- CASE-REPORT, Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 34(1), 1993, pp. 83-84
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair associated with a pelvic kidney
is extremely rare. To date only 14 cases have been reported in the li
terature. The main problem during aortic cross clamping is kidney pres
ervation. The purpose of this article is to record and additional case
of AAA repair associated with a native pelvic kidney. The preservatio
n has been successfully achieved by a distal aortic double clamping.
