Laparoscopy-assisted hybrid technique for renal revascularization using an endovascular graft: report of three cases

Vascular. 2007 May-Jun;15(3):154-7. doi: 10.2310/6670.2007.00036.

Abstract

Atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis (RAS) is relatively common and often associated with hypertension and progressive renal insufficiency. Technical improvements of interventional endovascular tools have led to a more widespread use of endoluminal renal artery revascularization. Sometimes an endovascular procedure for (RAS) may fail. We report 3 cases successfully treated with laparoscopic assisted aortorenal bypass using an endovascular graft.
