Successful renal autotransplantation in a patient with bilateral renal artery thrombosis

Urology. 1994 Feb;43(2):235-7. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(94)90052-3.

Abstract

Bilateral renal artery thrombosis is a rare but traumatic injury that is most commonly caused by sudden deceleration. Traditional methods of repair (e.g., in situ repair, bypass graft, and thrombectomy) have poor success rates. This report is the first successful use of autotransplantation in a patient with bilateral renal artery thrombosis.
