ABSTRACT: Renal transplantation in a patient with aortoiliac prosthetic graft is a unique challenge. It requires that the renal artery is anastomosed directly to the vascular prosthetic graft. Nearly 0.2%-1.7% of the patients with aortoiliac prosthesis require renal transplantation in their life time. Outcomes following such procedure are controversial and anecdotal. In this report we present a unique case in which the renal artery was anastomosed to vascular prosthetic graft with a pertinent review of the literature.
