  • Title: Preoperative renal embolisation in patients with polycystic kidney disease requiring incisional hernia repair after renal transplantation.
    Author: Hurtado-Pardo L, Bueno Lledó J, Nieto-Sánchez M, García-Pastor P.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2023 Sep 28; 16(9):. PubMed ID: 37770243.
    Abstract:
    In the same way that renal transcatheter arterial embolisation (TAE) has demonstrated its effectiveness and safety compared with nephrectomy of the polycystic kidney at the time of transplantation, we propose that TAE can be a minimally invasive option in the surgical preparation for incisional hernia repair in order to reduce the compressive effect of the polycystic kidney, creating space and ensuring safe hernia repair. The objective of this article is to describe the first case in which TAE is used in advance of incisional hernia secondary to renal transplantation in patients with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.
