Article Synopsis
- The report discusses a surgical technique called modified ex vivo renal artery reconstruction used in a patient with two small right renal arteries, as part of a staged hybrid repair prior to a planned endovascular aortic repair for a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm.
- The initial surgery involved creating a hepato-renal bypass using a saphenous vein graft to link both small right renal arteries, followed by a second stage that utilized a custom stent-graft to address the main arteries affected by the aneurysm, successfully preserving kidney function.
- The case highlights the advantages of hybrid surgical methods in managing complex vascular issues, particularly how the modified ex vivo technique enables precise reconstruction of renal arteries
