Abstract
A patient who developed acute renal artery thrombosis as a complication of distal abdominal aortic occlusion is described. Because of the presence of an extensive collateral arterial supply, the right kidney survived and revascularization was accomplished successfully with a saphenous vein graft interposed between the superior mesenteric and the right renal arteries. Criteria for revascularization of renal artery occlusion are presented, with emphasis on the importance of collateral circulation and the elective correction of distal aortic thrombosis.
