Renal artery aneurysms involving segmental branches pose a technical challenge to repair. Both endovascular and open repair techniques have been described. This case illustrates the clinical presentation of a patient with a symptomatic renal artery aneurysm with thromboembolic renal infarction managed with laparoscopic nephrectomy, ex vivo aneurysm resection, renal artery reconstruction, and autotransplantation.
