    Abstract:
    Associated stenosis of one or both renal arteries is not uncommon in patients with infrarenal aortic disease (aneurysm or occlusive disease) requiring surgical repair. The purpose of this retrospective study was to analyze the short- and long-term outcome of concomitant renal artery and aortic reconstruction. The present series includes 39 consecutive concomitant procedures. Simultaneous aortic and renal artery reconstruction was performed in a total of 39 (7.2%) of the 540 patients who underwent elective infrarenal abdominal aortic repair between 1987 and 1996. There were 33 men and 6 women with a mean age of 66.7 years. Twenty-eight patients presented hypertension and 7 presented renal insufficiency associated with hypertension. In all cases, the indication for operative treatment was aortic disease, i.e., aortic aneurysm in 20 cases and occlusive aortoiliac disease in 19 cases. A total of 51 renal artery revascularization procedures were performed, including bypass in 40 cases, transposition in 7, and endarterectomy in 4. Combined aortic and renal artery reconstruction gives good short- and long-term results comparable to those of isolated aortic surgery. On the basis of these findings, we think that concomitant repair is the strategy of choice for patients presenting renal artery stenosis associated with infrarenal aortic disease requiring surgical therapy.
