Abstract

Renal artery aneurysm (AAR) is rare and usually asymptomatic; rupture, thromboembolism are aneurysmal complications that can then lead to renal infarction. AAR is often found fortuitously when exploring other diseases. Renal autotransplantation (RAT) is an alternative treatment for complex AAR, with satisfactory outcomes described in the literature.

Keywords: Aneurysm; Anévrisme; Artère rénale; Autotransplantation; Renal artery.
