Why the study?
Does bilateral renal angioplasty and unilateral stenting enable safer elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in a patient with severe bilateral renal artery stenosis?
Does bilateral renal angioplasty and unilateral stenting enable safer elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in a patient with severe bilateral renal artery stenosis?
Pre-operative renal angioplasty and stenting may facilitate safer elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in patients with severe bilateral renal artery stenosis.
SummaryWe report a case where bilateral renal angioplasty and renal artery stenting of one side enabled a patient to undergo a safer elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair following the discovery of severe bilateral renal artery stenosis on pre-operative angiography. The benefits of such a procedure in this situation are discussed.
