Revascularization of the right ischemic kidney by gastroduodenal artery

Eur Urol. 1989;16(1):69-71. doi: 10.1159/000471534.

Abstract

Hepatorenal bypass can successfully accomplish revascularization of the right renal artery when the aorta or the iliac vessels cannot be used for a standard renal bypass or renal autotransplantation. The use of the hepatic circulation can be increased by the gastroduodenal to renal artery bypass procedure. Herein we report a clinical case of severe hypertension in a patient with a solitary functional kidney and an extensive atheromatous alteration of the aortoiliac segment. It has been corrected by means of a gastroduodenal end-to-side renal saphenous vein bypass graft.
