Abstract

Renal failure patients with absent or thrombosed inferior vena cava (IVC) and iliac veins are considered technically unsuitable for transplantation. Occasional cases have been reported in literature of transplant using inferior and superior mesenteric veins. We describe a case in which kidney was transplanted on to an ovarian vein in a young patient who had thrombosed IVC and iliac veins and was previously declared unsuitable for transplantation.
