Abstract
NOGUEIRA, Clara et al. Renal Artery Aneurysm: ex-vivo repair - a case report. Angiol Cir Vasc [online]. 2012, vol.8, n.3, pp.146-150. ISSN 1646-706X.
Renal artery aneurysms (RAA) are rare, frequently asymptomatic, with variable etiology, frequently due to atherosclerosis and congenital anomalies. Surgical treatment is indicated for RAA with a diameter greater to 2 cm. Surgical technique will depend on RAA anatomic localization and complexity, as well as, predicted renal isquemic time. The authors report an auto-transplant for treatment of two complex RAA.
Keywords : renal artery; aneurysm; fibromuscular dysplasia; autotransplantation; ex-vivo repair.
