title: Renal autotransplant in patients with complex hilar renal artery aneurysms.
abstract: Renal artery aneurysms are uncommon, with an incidence of 0.01% in the general population. The improvement of radiologic techniques and the increased incidence of abdominal imaging for various indications has resulted in increased detection of asymptomatic renal artery aneurysms. Hilar renal artery aneurysms are a subtype of the disease and constitute management challenges. Here, we report 3 patients with hilar renal artery aneurysms treated with renal autotransplant and review the literature.
