  • Title: Bilateral renal artery occlusion due to intraoperative retrograde migration of an abdominal aortic aneurysm endograft.
    Author: Inan K, Ucak A, Onan B, Temizkan V, Ugur M, Yilmaz AT.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2010 Mar; 51(3):720-4. PubMed ID: 19939611.
    Abstract:
    Retrograde (proximal) migration of an abdominal aortic aneurysm endograft is an extremely rare event during endovascular insertion and may lead to occlusion of the bilateral renal arteries and dialysis-dependent renal failure. This case report describes the intraoperative retrograde migration of a bifurcated abdominal aortic endograft during the initial endovascular procedure after deployment of an extender limb graft into the right iliac artery and associated bilateral renal artery occlusion. This was treated with renal artery bypass, and the patient had a favorable outcome.
