Purpose: This case report describes a patient with a pelvic kidney associated with an aortoiliac aneurysm amenable to open repair.
Methods: We chose the selective cold renal perfusion to preserve renal function.
Results: Other techniques such as transient or permanent extra-anatomic bypass, extracorporeal circulation and proximal aortic double clamping are also described in this report.
Conclusions: Choosing the renal perfusion technique depended on the anatomical evaluations of the kidney and the renal artery location during the preoperative period.
