Abstract
The association of aortic aneurysm with congenital pelvic kidney is an uncommon condition and has been described in association with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) open repairs. We present a case of a patient with a type IV thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) extending into the left common and internal iliac arteries associated with a congenital pelvic kidney who was treated with a customised endovascular prosthesis involving proximal fenestrations, bifurcation fenestration and a left internal deep iliac branch device. Although branch technology continues to evolve, cases such as this are encouraging for future widespread use. This approach allowed us to offer TAAA repair without compromising renal function in a patient with multiple co-morbidities who probably would not have withstood conventional open treatment.
