Temporary axillo-femoral bypass graft for renal transplant protection during aortic aneurysm repair.
Aortic surgery in renal transplant recipients requires a method of maintaining intraoperative graft perfusion. Here we present a case in which temporary axillo-femoral bypass was used to perfuse a renal transplant during the aortic aneurysm repair; the rationale of inserting the temporary axillo-femoral bypass on transverse arteriotomies is pointed out. Other methods of renal graft perfusion are discussed.
