Abstract
Arterial hypertension is a leading cause of both vascular diseases and chronic renal failure. With the increasing incidence of patients suffering from hypertension, an increasing number of patients with hypertensive vascular disease are reported, namely aortoiliac atherosclerosis and aneurysms, needing kidney transplantation (KT). Staged or simultaneous surgical repair of aortoiliac lesions with KT have long been described and studied. In this report, we discuss the case of a patient with infra-renal abdominal aortic aneurysm, having an endovascular bifurcated aortic bi-iliac stent (EVBAIS) introduced, who underwent a KT 3 months after his vascular surgery without any post-operative complication. This case, as well as other previous studies supports the fact that the presence of an EVBAIS does not contraindicate KT.
