title: Open or laparoscopic nephrectomy and extracoroporeal repair of complicated renal artery aneurysms: techniques for renal salvage.
abstract: Renal artery aneurysm is an infrequently seen disease. The most feared symptom is rupture, which is often rapidly fatal. Indications for intervention include size, intractable symptoms and pregnancy. Many cases are managed by endovascular techniques; however, very complex cases often are referred to the urologist. We report our experience with the rarely used technique of renal artery aneurysms repair comprised of nephrectomy, extracorporeal vascular reconstruction with aneurysmectomy, and autotransplant.
