Bilateral renal artery thrombosis with anuria following blunt abdominal trauma is distinctly unusual. We report a 16-year-old female in whom emergency revascularization with a primary reimplantation on the right and a hypogastric artery interposition graft on the left was performed following angiographic documentation of bilateral renal artery occlusion. Excellent renal function was demonstrated bilaterally at 7 weeks. Bilateral renal revascularization is feasible in the acute setting and can yield excellent results.
