A temporary vascular bypass was utilized to maintain perfusion of a renal transplant during abdominal aortic aneurysmectomy in a patient. The shunt, of polyvinyl tubing, was placed between the upper abdominal aorta and the common iliac artery, where the perfusion pressure was only 15 mm Hg less than systemic pressure. The transplanted kidney functioned normally during 71 min of aortic cross-clamping, and there was no evidence of postoperative renal failure.
