Abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy associated with a native iliac kidney. Case report.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair associated with a pelvic kidney is extremely rare. To date only 14 cases have been reported in the literature. The main problem during aortic cross clamping is kidney preservation. The purpose of this article is to record and additional case of AAA repair associated with a native pelvic kidney. The preservation has been successfully achieved by a distal aortic double clamping.
