Acute renal failure and ureteral leak after open surgery aortoiliac aneurysm repair.
We present a case of 52 year old male with an acute renal failure that took place 4 days after open transabdominal surgery repair of infrarenal abdominal aneurysm along with aneurysm of left common iliac artery and dilatation of left external iliac artery. Patient was subjected to 13 hemodialysis treatments that resulted in satisfactory recovery of renal function. One month after aneurysm repair he developed the right ureteral leak, consequently urinoma and acute renal failure once again. We suppose that ureteral leak was related to segmental ischemic necrosis of right ureter but not to traction or other iatrogenic ureteral injury. Percutaneous nephrostomy and insertion of ureteral stent was resulted in complete recovery of renal function.
