Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stenting for transplant renal artery stenosis at the anastomosis site in a young female patient: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is one of the major vascular complications and is mostly reported within six months following kidney transplant.

Case presentation

The present case was a 16-year-old female whose blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine rose seven days after a kidney transplant. Ultrasound investigation revealed well-prefusion with a 90-degree angle anastomosis, apparent narrowing, and peak systolic velocity of 300 cm/s. Fourteen days after the transplant, with pre-and post-intervention hemodialysis and well hydration, an angiography with diluted iodinated contrast was done for the patient, which revealed >80 % narrowing at the anastomosis site. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTAS) with stenting was carried out for the patient, res
