case_images: The patient developed with abdominal pain and raising serum creatinine (2.6 mg/dl), and abdominopelvic sonography revealed normal transplanted kidney with a large infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (anterioposterior diameter of 55 mm) which did not involve the iliac arteries, and then, computed tomography (CT) scan without contrast confirmed the diagnosis (Figures 1-3).

case_images: For renal allograft protection, at first, a short 5 Fr CSI (Cordis AVANTI + Sheath Introducer, USA) was inserted in the right brachial artery, and then, a 65 cm 7 Fr percutaneous CSI (Epsylar-Optimed, Germany) was placed in the aortic arch under fluoroscopy on the guide of a stiff wire (Amplatz wire, Cordis, USA) via the brachial access, and an 11 cm 8 Fr CSI (Cordis AVANTI + Sheath Introducer, USA) was inserted in the right external iliac via the common femoral artery through a percutaneous procedure and was fixed (Figure 4).
