Surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysm in patients with a transplanted kidney is true a challenge. Conventional open repair of the aneurysm requires aortic cross-clamping. Therefore, it can pose a risk of ischemic injury to the transplanted kidney. Endovascular repair, which limits the duration of interruption of blood flow to the transplanted kidney, is a suitable alternative for repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm, if feasible anatomically. Here, we present a case of a 62-year-old woman who was transferred to our hospital because of abdominal pain and had a history of renal transplant 14 years ago. Computed tomography confirmed a large infrarenal fusiform abdominal aortic aneurysm 6 cm in maximal diameter and another 4 cm fusiform aneurysm in the left common iliac artery. We successfully performed endovascular aneurysm repair combined with femoro-femoral bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the 5th postoperative day.
