Renal Artery Aneurysms

Abstract This chapter provides a summary of a landmark study in vascular surgery reporting on the natural history and surgical outcomes of renal artery aneurysms. The observational study of a 35-year clinical experience from a single center demonstrated that surgical therapy of renal artery aneurysms in properly selected patients provides excellent long-term clinical outcomes. This chapter describes the basics of the study, including funding, study location, inclusion and exclusion criteria, how many patients were recruited, study design, follow-up, endpoints, results, and criticism and limitations. The chapter briefly reviews other relevant studies and information, gives a summary, and concludes with a relevant clinical case.
