Official Title: Semi-automatic Measurement of Renal Volume at Computed Tomography (CT) Angiography to Plan Repair of Aortic Aneurysms in Patients With Horseshoe Kidney: a Retrospective Study
Brief Summary:
The horseshoe kidney (HK) is a congenital anomaly in which the kidneys are fused in front of the anterior aortic wall in its most common form.The association of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and horseshoe kidney (HK) is a rare and challenging condition, occurring in less than 0.2% of all AAA cases.In these cases, open surgery is still widely practiced in many centers, with either a transperitoneal or retroperitoneal approach.Typically, several polar arteries arise from the distal abdominal aorta or the iliac…
