Endoluminal stent-graft repair of a renal artery aneurysm

J Endovasc Ther. 2002 Jun;9(3):359-62. doi: 10.1177/152660280200900316.

Abstract

Purpose: To present a renal artery aneurysm that was treated successfully by endoluminal grafting.

Case report: A 48-year-old woman presented with a 2.5-cm saccular left renal artery aneurysm. A Jostent coronary stent-graft was placed transluminally into the left renal artery via a femoral artery cutdown. After 12 months, renal function remained normal, and computed tomography revealed normal kidney perfusion with complete resolution of the renal artery aneurysm. CONCLUSIONS; The advances in endovascular stent-grafts will allow more visceral artery aneurysms to be treated with a minimally invasive approach.
