Abstract
GOMEZ-GALAN, Sebastián et al. Cold nephroprotection for repair of aortic ectasia and bilateral iliac aneurysms in the presence of pelvic ectopic kidney. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2023, vol.30, n.1, pp.57-61. Epub Feb 09, 2023. ISSN 0120-5633. https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.21000136.
Solitary pelvic ectopic kidneys associated with aneurysmal degeneration of the iliac arteries and abdominal aorta are very rare events. Surgical approaches for the correction of aneurysms with renal involvement are challenging due to the lack of current consensus, especially when they are associated with functional solitary pelvic ectopic kidneys. For this reason, one of the strategies that has shown good results in the short and medium term is cold nephroprotection, which can be used safely in these patients. In the present case, aortic ectasia with bilateral iliac aneurysms associated with a solitary pelvic ectopic kidneys was evidenced in a 75-year-old male patient with arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia. Bilateral aortoiliac reconstruction was performed with hypogastric artery reconstruction and reimplantation of the ectopic renal artery under cold renal irrigation, without complications and preservation of renal function.
