- Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are the most frequent type of aneurysm, particularly in patients with kidney transplants, highlighting a gap in understanding their prevalence in this group.
- A case study discusses a kidney transplant recipient who had an AAA and a contrast allergy, requiring a bi-iliac aortic bypass for repair.
- The patient successfully underwent surgery with a temporary bypass using the right axillary artery and was stable enough to be discharged just two days post-operation, suggesting that open surgery can be a viable option for AAA treatment in kidney transplant patients.
