The patient underwent AAA repair and right renal artery reconstruction using renal perfusion with cold Ringer’s acetate, and no deterioration of renal function was observed. 3D-CT was essential diagnostic procedure in order to identify the blood supply to the ectopic kidney for planning a careful surgical technique.
