Abstract

The iliac vessels are the standard site for vascular connections for kidney transplantation. Unusual circumstances may render the iliac vessels unusable. We report a case in which a cadaveric renal allograft was successfully transplanted despite an absence of normal venous anatomy, using the inferior mesenteric vein for revascularization.
