Anterograde Aortic Bypass Technique for Renal Preservation in Aneurysmal Repair With Horseshoe Kidney: A Novel Approach With Reduced Renal Ischemic Time

Vasc Endovascular Surg. 2024 Aug;58(6):683-684. doi: 10.1177/15385744241242187. Epub 2024 Mar 20.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to highlight an innovative technique in the surgical management of aortic aneurysms in the presence of a horseshoe kidney. The technique involves an anterograde aortic bypass from the distal thoracic aorta to the major renal artery with the primary advantage to a significant reduction in renal ischemia time.

Keywords: abdominal aortic aneurysm; horseshoe kidney; renal failure.
