  "abstract": "Congenital pelvic kidney is a rare condition associated with variable arterial supply, which can significantly increase the complexity of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, requiring careful operative planning and advanced techniques to maintain renal perfusion while achieving successful aneurysm exclusion. Here, we report the case of an elderly man with complex abdominal aortic aneurysm, congenital pelvic kidney, and a left ventricular assist device who underwent a successful fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair. This case illustrates the technical aspects of incorporating variant renal anatomy and expanding feasibility of fenestrated-branched endovascular aortic repair in patients with complex comorbidities.",
