title: In situ hypothermic preservation of a renal allograft during resection of abdominal aortic aneurysm.
abstract: Protection of renal function during aortic surgery is of utmost importance. continuous profound hypothermic perfusion was utilized for the first time to protect a renal allograft from ischemia during resection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Ringer's lactate at 4 C was perfused directly into the iliac artery bearing the allograft. No significant corporeal hypothermia was induced.
