Successful kidney transplantation in a man with Dacron "trouser" prosthesis.
The case history of a male patient, 62 years old, in preterminal uremia at transplantation with a cadaveric kidney is described. Twelve years before the transplantation he was operated on because of an aortic aneurysm where the abdominal aorta and both iliac arteries were substituted with a Dacron prosthesis. The kidney was anastomosed to this vessel substitute and functioned excellently for more than five years and the patient was completely rehabilitated.
