The pathogenesis of renal artery aneurysms (RAAs) is degenerative, which
eventually leads to weakening of the vessel wall and, in extreme cases, rupture.
RAAs are a rare occurrence. Patients generally are asymptomatic, with a small
number presenting with uncontrollable hypertension or hematuria. Most RAAs are
discovered incidentally on imaging and do not pose an immediate health threat.
However, the risk of rupture is an indication for prophylactic repair in certain
patients. Interest in interventional radiologic procedures in the management of
RAAs has recently increased; however, open repair should still be considered in
select instances. In this case series, we present three patients for whom an open
approach was indicated and performed.
