Renal autotransplantation for the treatment of renal artery aneurysm

Objective: Renal artery aneurysms are a rare condition; however, the rate of diagnosis has been increasing, because of the increasing use of complementary diagnostic methods. The best treatment strategy for RAAs remains controversial. Data on ex-vivo surgery associated with kidney autotransplantation are scarce. As a result, the goal of this study was to describe this technique and to report our results.Methods: A retrospective monocentric study was undertaken using the clinical records and images of 35 patients diagnosed with renal artery aneurysm from 01/01/2010 to 31/12/2018.
