Abstract
Horseshoe kidney is one of the most common congenital disorders of the kidney. The simultaneous incidence of horseshoe kidney and abdominal aneurysm is very low (0.12% of all cases of abdominal aortic aneurysm). In the first case, a 64-year-old male patient was admitted with acute lower limb ischaemia. CT-angiography revealed an occluded aortic aneurysm. During the emergency operation, the abdominal aneurysm was resected and an aortobifemoral bypass procedure was performed sparing the kidney's isthmus. In the second case, the abdominal complaints were caused by an infrarenal abdominal aneurysm that involved both common iliac arteries. Aortobiiliac reconstruction was performed with planned separation of the kidney isthmus and reimplantation of the accessory renal artery. Symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm is an urgent indication for reconstruction. The preoperative CTor MR-angiography play a key role in the indication and planning of the reconstruction. It is highly important for the vascular surgeon to have a clear picture of the blood supply of the horseshoe kidney and the urinary tract along with the anatomy of the aorta before the operation. The transperitoneal approach has several advantages over the retro peritoneal approach during vascular reconstruction surgery.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
