    Abstract:
    Renal artery aneurysms (RAA) are rare and challenging to repair. We present a case of a 48-year-old female with solitary right kidney who had complex aneurysms near the renal hilum. CT angiogram showed fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) features of the renal artery and 2 saccular aneurysms measuring 2.3 cm and 1 cm. An additional small lower pole renal artery added to the complexity of the case. Ex-vivo aneurysm repair was performed after the kidney was removed and flushed with preservation solution. This was followed by auto-transplantation to the right external iliac vessels. The patient did well postoperatively without need for dialysis with serum creatinine returning to normal 5 weeks after.
