Abstract
Renal artery perfusion is usually unnecessary during resection of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, because most of these aneurysms are situated below the renal arteries. The authors report the interesting case of a patient with a solitary functioning kidney, who had undergone previous bypass grafting from the right iliac artery to the right renal artery and in whom the kidney was perfused with the Biomedicus pump during the repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm. This technique may be useful in special situations in which any period of renal ischemia might be hazardous to renal function.
