Los riñones ectópicos pélvicos solitarios asociados a degeneración aneurismática de las arterias ilíacas y la aorta abdominal son eventos muy raros. Los enfoques quirúrgicos para la corrección de aneurismas con compromiso renal son un desafío por la falta de consenso actual, en especial cuando cursan con riñones ectópicos pélvicos solitarios funcionales asociados. Por tal motivo, una de las estrategias que ha demostrado buenos resultados a corto y mediano plazo es la nefroprotección en frío, la cual puede ser usada con seguridad en estos pacientes. En el caso que se presenta, se evidenció una ectasia aórtica con aneurismas ilíacos bilaterales asociados con un riñón ectópico pélvico solitario en un paciente masculino de 75 años, con hipertensión arterial y dislipidemia. Se realizó una reconstrucción aortoilíaca bilateral y una reconstrucción de
Solitary pelvic ectopic kidneys associated with aneurysmal degeneration of the iliac arteries and abdominal aorta are very rare events. Surgical approaches for the correction of aneurysms with renal involvement are challenging due to the lack of current consensus, especially when they are associated with functional solitary pelvic ectopic kidneys. For this reason, one of the strategies that has shown good results in the short-and medium-term is cold nephroprotection, which can be used safely in these patients. In the present case, aortic ectasia with bilateral iliac aneurysms associated with a solitary pelvic ectopic kidney was evidenced in a 75-year-old male patient with arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia. Bilateral aortoiliac reconstruction was performed with hypogastric artery reconstruction and reimplantation of the ectopic renal artery under cold renal irrigation, without complications and with preserved renal function.
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.
