    AbstractHorseshoe kidney (HSK) is one of the most common congenital renal fusion anomalies. Difficulties are encountered during surgery of aortic diseases associated with this anomaly. A 47-year male presented to the Outpatient Clinic with one-year history of intermittent claudication in 20 meters. He was diagnosed with Leriche syndrome and horseshoe kidney (HSK). The patient underwent aorto-bifemoral bypass surgery via transperitoneal approach. The proximal anastomosis was completed in an end-to-side fashion. The bifurcated graft was positioned posteriorly to the isthmus; and distal anastomoses were performed onto the common femoral arteries. He was discharged from the hospital on the eighth postoperative day without any complications. Key Words: Abdominal aorta, Surgery, Horseshoe kidney, Leriche syndrome.
