Abstract
Purpose: To report two cases of endovascular aortic aneurysm exclusion in patients with a horseshoe kidney.
Methods and results: Two male patients, one with a known horseshoe kidney and history of multiple previous laparotomies, presented with abdominal aortic aneurysms of approximately 6-cm diameter. Each was treated with a tapered aortomonoiliac polytetrafluoroethylene graft secured proximally with a Palmaz balloon-expandable stent. The endograft was sutured distally to a Dacron femorofemoral crossover graft. An anomalous renal vessel was sacrificed in one case. The aneurysms were successfully excluded, and the patients recovered without sequelae.
Conclusions: Endovascular repair should be considered as a treatment option in patients with aortic aneurysm in the presence of a horseshoe kidney, particularly if the renal vasculature can be wholly preserved.
