The coexistence of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and congenital pelvic kidney is infrequent. Various treatment modalities have been reported in literature for the treatment of the aforementioned condition. We report a complete endovascular modality for the treatment of this association, especially for high-risk patients. Only one such treatment has been reported before. Compared with this previously reported case, we would like to share our experience with additional prototype testing, before surgery, which provided us with more detailed information about the planning and deployment of the branched endograft. An incidental 7-cm infra renal AAA with the presence of right pelvic kidney was detected on magnetic resonance imaging performed for back pain in a 75-year-old male patient with a history of 2 previous myocardial infarctions and a radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. He was unfit for open surgery. We report a custom-made fenestrated endograft with prior prototype information used for the repair of a large aneurysm with right pelvic kidney. This procedure is less invasive than any other reported treatment modalities such as open surgery or hybrid procedures. This procedure has an added advantage in that there is no renal ischemia, and recovery is significantly faster.

A 26-year-old Japanese man without hypouricemia and with 3 previous episodes of seizures concurrent with acute kidney injury (AKI) was admitted due to an epileptic seizure, lower back pain and AKI. His creatinine kinase levels were slightly elevated. Patchy renal ischemia on contrast-enhanced computed tomography and persistent residual contrast medium was observed, consistent with acute renal failure with severe loin pain and patchy renal ischemia after anaerobic exercise (ALPE). Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) demonstrated signal changes in the corresponding area. ALPE should be considered a cause of AKI following seizures. We recommend DWI as an alternative diagnostic modality.
