Kidney transplantation using ipsilateral arterial and contralateral venous anastomosis in a patient with failing vascular access

Abstract

AbstractHerein, we describe our surgical technique and outcome of a kidney transplant in a patient with failing vascular access. A right donor kidney was transplanted into the right iliac fossa with an end‐to‐side arterial anastomosis to the ipsilateral right common iliac artery and end‐to‐side venous anastomosis to the contralateral left common iliac vein. The possibility of performing an ipsilateral arterial and contralateral venous anastomosis has been shown here to be successful. No post‐operative surgical complications were encountered.
