Renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) are rare, with an estimated incidence of 0.01% to 0.97%. These aneurysms are often asymptomatic, although they occasionally manifest with hypertension, back pain, hematuria, or rupture. Despite limited evidence guiding treatment, women of childbearing age are consistently offered treatment because of the high risk of rupture. We present a case of a woman planning pregnancy with bilateral RAAs after failed endovascular management. She underwent bilateral laparoscopic nephrectomy, ex vivo reconstruction, and autotransplantation for treatment of her aneurysms. This appears to be safe and effective for treatment of RAAs and should be considered in similar patients. (J Vasc Surg Cases and Innovative Techniques 2020;6:126-8.)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
