  • Title: [Renal cell carcinoma with renal artery aneurysm treated by extracorporeal surgery and autotransplantation--a report of 2 cases].
    Author: Nakahara M.
    Journal: Nihon Hinyokika Gakkai Zasshi; 1992 Apr; 83(4):546-9. PubMed ID: 1593835.
    Abstract:
    We experienced two cases of renal cell carcinoma with renal artery aneurysm in the contralateral kidney. These cases have not been reported in the literatures which we have so far explored. In our cases, firstly tumor was resected, and then extracorporeal surgery and autotransplantation were performed on the renal artery aneurysm of the opposite side. Their postoperative courses were uneventful. Only a few instances of extracorporeal surgery and autotransplantation for renal artery aneurysm in a solitary kidney have been reported in the literature. However, no report of a case treated by extracorporeal surgery and autotransplantation for renal artery aneurysm in the contralateral kidney after surgical treatment of renal cell carcinoma has been made. Regarding the treatment of renal artery aneurysm, extracorporeal surgery and autotransplantation appeared satisfactory in our experience. It was a safe and assured surgical procedure. We recommend extracorporeal surgery and autotransplantation for renal artery aneurysm when management in situ is considered difficult.
