Abstract:
A 62-year-old woman was admitted suffering from chest tightness and palpitations. Coronary angiography revealed slight stenosis of the coronary artery requiring medical treatment. At that time right renal artery aneurysm was found accidentally. In addition abdominal echogram showed gallbladder stone. She underwent aneurysmectomy with reconstruction of the right renal artery and cholecystectomy. Postoperative course was uneventful and renal arteriography one month after operation depicted the patent right renal artery. Surgical indications for renal artery aneurysm should be carefully considered.
