title: Use of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in a solitary kidney with renal artery aneurysm.
abstract: Arterial aneurysms have been among the relative contraindications cited for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. We report the successful use of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for treatment of renal calculi in a solitary kidney with renal artery aneurysms. Appropriate management considerations and perioperative precautions are discussed.
