| Core Tip |
Due to the ongoing shortage of deceased donors, kidney transplantation has increased as a strategy to expand the donor pool. However, this rise has brought increased encounters. We report a successful transplantation involving a kidney with a short renal artery from a living donor, using inferior epigastric artery as a cuff interposition for arterial reconstruction. To our knowledge, this is the first documented case of using epigastric artery in this manner. This novel technique appears to be a promising solution to prevent early thrombosis caused by vessel size discrepancy, and mid- to long-term anastomotic stenosis due to myo-intimal hyperplasia. |
