Early posttransplantation renal allograft perfusion failure due to dissection: diagnosis and interventional treatment.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of our study was to describe the role of interventional radiology, especially in the use of vascular stents, in early renal perfusion failure after transplantation.

CONCLUSION

Angiography revealed intimal dissection of the graft artery and graft venous thrombosis, which were successfully treated with stent angioplasty and thromboaspiration. For early vascular complication after transplantation, timely use of angiography and subsequent intervention should be recognized as potentially effective and safe treatment techniques.
