Coral reef aorta is rare type of atherosclerotic diseases with severe calcification in the visceral part of the aorta. We present a case of coral reef aorta with severe abdominal aortic stenosis in a 67-year-old man. The patient presented with hypertension, claudication, and rapid progression of renal dysfunction over several months. Angiography revealed a severely stenotic suprarenal abdominal aorta resulting in renal ischemia and dysfunction. In addition, his right kidney was completely atrophied. After open surgical repair of the stenotic aorta including renal artery reconstruction, renal function did not improve. There was stenotic anastomosis to the renal artery. After endovascular therapy to the stenotic anastomosis, renal function dramatically improved. Stenotic coral reef aorta may be the cause of kidney dysfunction. In addition, surgical complication of stenotic anastomosis may be successfully treated by endovascular therapy.

Renal artery aneurysm is a rare disease. With modern non-invasive imaging modalities, the disease is being increasingly diagnosed. It is a slow-growing aneurysm with high mortality in the event of rupture; especially in pregnant females and patients with multiple comorbidities. Traditionally, aneurysms located in the main renal artery had been successfully treated with endoprosthesis but technical limitations existed in more distal locations where patients were treated surgically. With advances in endovascular therapy, numerous techniques have been employed to manage complex RAA in artery bifurcation, branch and segmental arteries with excellent technical and clinical success. The various recent techniques include the use of flow diverter stents, remodelling with stent-assisted coil embolization[SACE], balloon-assisted coil embolization[BACE], selective embolization with coils-sac packing, inflow occlusion and coil trapping and selective embolization with liquid embolic agents-Hystroacril and Onyx. A combination of stent-graft with liquid embolization and liquid with microcoil embolization have been advocated with success. The most common complication encountered is renal infarction. This is mostly without impairment of renal function and secondary to embolization. Endovascular therapy has shorter operative time, less blood loss, shorter intensive care stay, done under conscious sedation and is associated with lesser postoperative morbidity compared to surgery. Reduction in hypertension, improvement of renal function and symptoms has been seen in most studies. Endovascular management of RAA has become the management of choice even with complex anatomy and technically challenging lesions.
