Authors report a
case of transplant renal artery aneurysm. The aneurysm developed within three
months of living unrelated kidney transplantation surgery.
The aneurysm
involved origin of the transplant renal artery proximally and extended
up to its bifurcation. The aneurysm was not amenable to endovascular
corrective approach.
Surgical
resection of the aneurysm was carried out; renal arteries were repaired and
re-anastomosed with the right iliac artery. Allograft function recovered after
a brief period of acute kidney injury.
