Aortorenal bypass with autogenous renal artery for coexisting renal carcinoma and renal artery stenosis.

A case of renal artery stenosis and a large contralateral renal carcinoma is reported. After radical nephrectomy of the tumor-bearing kidney revascularization of the solitary remaining kidney was performed with an aortorenal bypass graft of autogenous renal artery. When renal artery stenosis coexists with contralateral intrinsic renal disease preservation of functioning renal parenchyma is an important goal of therapy.
