Objective To retrospective summarize the experience of endovascular repair and open surgery in the treatment of renal aneurysms in our single center.Methods Clinical data of 24 patients with renal aneurysm treated in our hospital from August 2012 to May 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. Nine patients undergoing surgical intervention were categorized as the open operation group, and ten patients who received endovascular repair were classified as the endovascular repair group. To compare and analyze the results of the two groups. Five patients who had refused surgery therapy will be analyzed separately.Results Twenty-four patients with seventeen females (70.8%) and seven males (29.2%) were enrolled in this study and nineteen patients with twenty-three aneurysms got repaired successfully. The endovascular repair group had shorter hospital stay compared with the open operation group [median: 10.5 (P25 6.3, P75 15.0) d vs. 21.0 (P25 17.0, P75 27.5) d]. One patient in the open operation group developed renal artery stenosis at 11 months after surgery and underwent reoperation by repair by successful stent placement. There were no other significant postoperative complications occurred in the two groups. No abnormal enlargement or rupture of the aneurysms were observed during the follow-up period in 5 unoperated patients.Conclusions Both open surgery and endovascular repair are effective means of treating renal artery aneurysms. Once the renal aneurysm ruptures, serious consequences will occur. Once a renal aneurysm is diagnosed, regardless of the size of the aneurysm, active surgical treatment is recommend.
