J Nippon Med Sch. 2021;88(6):514-515. doi: 10.1272/jnms.JNMS.2021_88-610.

Abstract

Leriche syndrome is an aortoiliac occlusive disease with three chief symptoms: claudication, impotence, and weak femoral pulse. It can also cause occlusion of the aorta up to the level of the renal arteries. We report a case in which aortoiliac bypass and renal artery thrombectomy were effective in ameliorating acute kidney injury caused by bilateral renal artery thrombosis.

Keywords: Leriche syndrome; acute kidney injury; renal artery thrombosis.
