| Abstract: | We report the surgical management of a bilateral renal artery aneurysm diagnosed in a 41‐year‐old patient with a history of recurrent abdominal pain. The preoperative contrast‐enhanced computed tomography showed a complex saccular aneurysm on both renal arteries within the renal hilum. The characteristics of aneurysms precluded endovascular procedures, and a double‐step bilateral ex vivo reconstruction with kidney autotransplantation was planned. The intra‐ and postoperative period was uneventful. Imaging and laboratory examinations show preservation of renal function, and patient is symptom‐free at 10‐month follow up. |
