Revascularization of the right ischemic kidney by gastroduodenal artery.
Hepatorenal bypass can successfully accomplish revascularization of the right renal artery when the aorta or the iliac vessels cannot be used for a standard renal bypass or renal autotransplantation. The use of the hepatic circulation can be increased by the gastroduodenal to renal artery bypass procedure. Herein we report a clinical case of severe hypertension in a patient with a solitary functional kidney and an extensive atheromatous alteration of the aortoiliac segment. It has been corrected by means of a gastroduodenal end-to-side renal saphenous vein bypass graft.
