Symptomatic compression of the renal artery by the diaphragmatic crus is a rare disorder. To our knowledge, renal artery compression by the diaphragmatic crus complicated with poststenosis aneurysm has not been reported. We present the case of a 28-year-old man with refractory hypertension. Extrinsic compression of the bilateral renal arteries and celiac artery and the aneurysm were proven by surgical exploration. We successfully performed left renal artery revascularization and renal autotransplantation in situ. Normal perfusion of the two bypass graft vessels was proven by computed tomography angiography.
