ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Unavailability of the iliac-caval system due to thrombosis or aberrant anatomy may preclude kidney transplantation (KT) in small infants, exposing them to the complications of long-term dialysis. A tailored approach may enable KT also in these difficult patients. METHODS: We report the cases of 2 pediatric patients with a history of long-term hemodialysis, a previously failed KT, pending exhaustion of vascular accesses for dialysis, and unsuitability of the iliac-caval axis as a site for KT. Both patients were successfully managed by using splenic vessels as a source of arterial inflow or venous drainage during KT. Notably, one patient also had a previous liver transplant. RESULTS: Both kidney grafts showed primary function. Posttransplant courses were uneventful, and no rejection episode was observed. At 64- and 10-mo follow-ups, both children had optimal renal function and excellent quality of life. CONCLUSIONS: When the iliac-caval system is unavailable, kidney graft implantation on splenic vessels represents a safe and effective option for pediatric KT.

ABSTRACT

True aneurysms of the pancreaticoduodenal artery associated with celiac axis occlusion are very rare; only 38 cases have been reported, according to our literature review. We present three consecutive cases with different options of surgical treatment.
