Repair of ruptured giant renal artery aneurysm with kidney salvage.

Introduction saccular with a calcified neck (Fig. 1) and was compressing the ureter resulting in significant hydroRenal artery aneurysms remain a relatively uncommon nephrosis (Fig. 2). At laparotomy a large left-sided haematoma was problem. The reported incidence has varied with the population described and ranges from 0.3% in patients encountered extending to the midline. It was possible to explore the infrarenal aorta and to identify and undergoing angiography to 1% in patients being investigated for renal disease. Solitary giant renal artery clamp the origin of the left renal artery. The descending colon was reflected medially allowing visualisation of aneurysms (at least 5 cm in diameter) are even more unusual with only eleven reported cases in the litthe anterior aspect of the left kidney, the collecting system, ureter, the renal vein and the large saccular erature. To our knowledge there is only one previous published report describing treatment of a ruptured aneurysm. The aneurysm was located at the first branching of giant renal artery aneurysm and this resulted in nephrectomy. The following is a report of a male patient the main renal artery. With mobilisation of the renal vein and careful dissection of the hydroureter the with a ruptured giant renal artery aneurysm and a congenital solitary kidney. Successful repair with renal proximal renal artery and the common origin of three branches exiting the aneurysm were identified. The salvage was achieved by aneurysm excision and primary arterial repair.
