Abstract

A case of a giant renal artery aneurysm and multiple small branch aneurysms in a 48-year old man is presented. The largest aneurysm was repaired successfully with kidney preservation. Small branch aneurysms were left alone. Subsequent CT scans 6, 12 and 20 months after the operation revealed the same aneurysms without any increase in size and shape.
