Preservation of renal function in reimplantation of renal artery of abdominal aortic aneurysm

J Cardiovasc Surg (Torino). 2000 Feb;41(1):121-3.

Abstract

Intraoperative administration of diuretics and renal hypothermia with cold (4 degrees C) heparinized Ringer's lactate were useful methods for preserving renal function during warm ischemia time. 54-year and 74-year-old men were diagnosed as abdominal aortic aneurysm. Their left renal and accessory left renal arteries originated from the border zone of the aneurysm. We reported two cases of reimplantation of the renal artery in abdominal aortic aneurysm without deterioration of renal function.
