A 24 year old man with severe renovascular hypertension was diagnosed as having an arteriovenous malformation of the left kidney with an aneurysm of the renal artery 12 years after right nephrectomy. Surgical reconstruction proved unsuccessful, but subsequent autotransplantation of the lower segment of the kidney 18 hours later saved the patient. He made an excellent recovery and is now normotensive and able to lead a normal life.
