Successful Excision of a Suspected Mycotic Transplant Renal Artery Patch Aneurysm With Renal Allograft Autotransplantation
2014
Abstract
Aneurysm of the transplant renal artery has an incidence rate of less than 1% and is associated with graft loss and mortality (1). We report a case of a suspected mycotic transplant renal artery patch aneurysm developing in a patient with systemic infection and a functioning renal allograft treated with surgical excision, in situ reconstruction, and subsequent allograft auto transplantation with successful outcome.
