title: Autotransplantation of a single functioning kidney following rupture of renal artery aneurysm.
abstract: Renal artery aneurysms (RAA) are the second most common visceral artery aneurysm. In cases of rupture they pose a significant and emergent surgical challenge. Extracorporeal arterial reconstruction and autotransplantation is often necessary in certain complex cases that are not amenable to aneurysm repair in vivo. We report a case of a 35 year old female with a RAA in a solitary functioning kidney, requiring ex vivo reconstruction and autotransplantation to the iliac vessels.
