“…It is important for the surgeon to have a good preoperative knowledge of the anomalous vascularization of the horseshoe kidney and its relationship with the aneurysm. 16 A good understanding of how vascularization works in each patient and an accurate evaluation of kidney function is also important. 1,2,4 Preoperative CT scanning and angiography are necessary for endovascular treatment.…”

Endovascular Repair of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm in a Patient with Horseshoe Kidney: Report of a Case

et al. 2006

Horseshoe kidney is a rare congenital anomaly that may cause various technical problems during conventional repairs of abdominal aortic aneurysms. We report the case of a 68-year-old woman with a horseshoe kidney, symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm and mild renal failure. The patient underwent endovascular repair using a bifurcated endoprosthesis. The postoperative was uneventful. We describe the diagnosis and the endovascular technique and literature review. Descriptors: Aortic aneurysm. Aortic aneurysm, abdominal/ surgery. Blood vessel prosthesis implantation/methods. Kidney diseases/surgery. Kidney/abnormalities. Stents. Resumo O rim em ferradura é uma anomalia congênita rara que pode causar várias dificuldades técnicas durante a correção convencional de aneurisma de aorta abdominal. Relatamos o caso de uma paciente de 68 anos com rim em ferradura, aneurisma de aorta abdominal sintomático e disfunção renal leve. A paciente foi submetida a correção endovascular, sendo utilizada uma endoprótese bifurcada. O pós-operatório foi livre de complicações. O diagnóstico e a técnica endovascular são discutidos, assim como a literatura revisada. Descritores: Aneurisma aórtico. Aneurisma da aorta abdominal/cirurgia. Implante de prótese vascular/métodos.

“…[12] Single renal artery is present in one-third of the cases while various combinations of single and multiple hilar and isthmic vessels arising from the abdominal aorta, iliac arteries, or IMA are present in rest of the patients. [1314] In more than two-thirds of the cases, the isthmus receives independent blood supply through branches arising from the abdominal aorta. [15]…”

Horseshoe kidney is the most common congenital renal fusion anomaly with an incidence of 1 in 400–600 individuals. The most common type is fusion at the lower poles seen in greater than 90% of the cases, with the rest depicting fusion at the upper poles, resulting in an inverted horseshoe kidney. Embryologically, there are two theories hypothesizing the genesis of horseshoe kidney – mechanical fusion theory and teratogenic event theory. As an entity, horseshoe kidney is an association of two anatomic anomalies, namely, ectopia and malrotation. It is also associated with other anomalies including vascular, calyceal, and ureteral anomalies. Horseshoe kidney is prone to a number of complications due to its abnormal position as well as due to associated vascular and ureteral anomalies. Complications associated with horseshoe kidney include pelviureteric junction obstruction, renal stones, infection, tumors, and trauma. It can also be associated with abnormalities of cardiovascular, central nervous, musculoskeletal and genitourinary systems, as well as chromosomal abnormalities. Conventional imaging modalities (plain films, intravenous urogram) as well as advanced cross-sectional imaging modalities (ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging) play an important role in the evaluation of horseshoe kidney. This article briefly describes the embryology and anatomy of the horseshoe kidney, enumerates appropriate imaging modalities used for its evaluation, and reviews cross-sectional imaging features of associated complications.

“…When fusion occurs lateral to the midline, the ipsilateral kidney lies more vertically, whereas the other lies horizontally. The blood supply to horseshoe kidneys is very variable and may arise from the aorta, the iliac arteries and the inferior mesenteric artery 11,12 . Bilateral single arteries occur in one‐third of cases 11 .…”

“…11,12 Bilateral single arteries occur in one-third of cases. 11 However, these may be multiple and various combinations of single and multiple renal hilar and isthmus vessels are seen in two-thirds of cases. The isthmus of the kidney is supplied by a single vessel from the aorta in 65% of cases.…”

Horseshoe kidney is the most common renal fusion anomaly and the patients are prone to a variety of complications, such as stone disease, pelviureteric junction (PUJ) obstruction, trauma, infections and tumours. As result of the abnormal anatomy of a horseshoe kidney, imaging and treatment pathways vary substantially from the normal kidney. In this review, we describe the role of modern imaging in depicting horseshoe kidneys and their complications, in tandem with the role the interventional radiologist plays in treating these patients.
