Abstract

The coexistence of an abdominal aortic aneurysm and a congenital pelvic kidney is extremely rare. We present a 66-year-old male with an inflammatory aneurysm and an aberrant origin of the superior mesenteric artery. The inflammatory infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm with a congenital left pelvic kidney was successfully treated with endovascular repair. Coverage of one out of the two renal ectopic arteries was performed, without clinical evidence of renal function impairment.

Keywords

inflammatory - abdominal aortic aneurysm - congenital pelvic kidney - endovascular aneurysm repair
