Abstract
Aneurysmal dissection of the ascending aorta and arch may be associated with polycystic kidney disease. We report a case of massive polycystic kidneys leading to respiratory and gastrointestinal embarrassment in combination with aneurysmal dilatation of a chronic arch dissection managed by simultaneous bilateral nephrectomy and arch replacement.
