title: Endovascular exclusion of renal artery aneurysm.
abstract: A patient who was operated for an abdominal aortic aneurysm 7 years earlier presented with recently discovered iliac and renal artery aneurysms. The renal artery had an angulation of 90 , but the aneurysm was successfully excluded using a covered vascular stent graft placed over an extra stiff guidewire. Even in cases of complex anatomy of a renal aneurysm, endovascular treatment should be considered. With development of more flexible and low-profile endoprosthesis with accurate deployment, these have become more usable.
