The association of iliac artery aneurysms with a congenital pelvic kidney is extremely rare. Although multiple techniques are well described for renal preservation with renal ectopia in the setting of aortic reconstruction, few reports exist describing techniques for renal preservation in the setting of bilateral iliac artery aneurysms. A case is presented of a middle-aged man with a 6-cm right common iliac artery aneurysm and a 3-cm left common iliac artery aneurysm and a right pelvic kidney. A double-proximal-clamp technique and temporary shunting to the pelvic kidney were used during the aneurysm repair. The technical aspects of this procedure are presented as well as a brief discussion of the various options for renal preservation with renal ectopia when repairing complex aneurysmal disease.
