[Living related kidney transplantation after removing the aneurysm of graft: a case report].
A case of living related renal transplantation using a kidney with renal arterial aneurysm is reported. The size of the renal arterial aneurysm was 15 mm in diameter. After ex vivo aneurysm removal, the graft was transplanted to the right iliac fossa. The total ischemic time was 79 minutes, and the urine flow started 5 minutes after declamping. In Japan, eight patients are reported to have successfully received a renal graft after removing its aneurysm extracorporeally. Renal transplantation is possible even when the donor kidney has a renal arterial aneurysm.
