Introduction: A 90-year-old patient was admitted with a hemorrhagic shock from a huge ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm with an unfavourable infrarenal aortic neck and a horseshoe kidney (HSK).
Report: We decided on an open surgical approach: the HSK isthmus was sectioned with an Endo GIA 45 mm, and we performed a suprarenal aortic cross-clamping and an aortic graft reconstruction. Postoperatively, no urinary leakage was detected, and renal function showed no impairment. The patient died on the 10th postoperative day from pneumonia.
Conclusion: We believe that the sectioning of the HSK isthmus with Endo GIA is a fast and simple maneouvre.
