Abstract

Repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms in the presence of horseshoe kidney (AAA-HSK) can be technically challenging due to the variable renal arterial blood supply. Precise pre-operative knowledge of the anomalous renal perfusion is requisite for successful planning and treatment of AAA-HSK. We describe a case using a left heart cardiopulmonary bypass during operative repair of an 5.4 cm juxta-renal AAA-HSK to maintain renal perfusion during revascularization.
