Maximizing Nephron Mass in Horseshoe Kidney Transplantation Using Inferior Epigastric Artery: Case Report.
Urologia Internationalis 2018 June 7
Due to the progressive shortage of donors, kidneys with congenital anomalies are considered for transplantation. We report a successful transplantation of a split horseshoe kidney from a deceased donor by using the inferior epigastric artery with an end-to-end anastomosis, supplying the isthmus. Thus, we preserved as much as possible the functional parenchyma for a good long-term outcome. The learning point is that the use of the right inferior epigastric artery seems to be a good solution to perfuse the lower artery in order to avoid its ligation, thus reducing the nephron mass of the graft.
