Vascular Reconstruction of Multiple Renal Arteries-A Risk Factor for Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis: Insight From a Matched Case-Control Study.

ABSTRACT: Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis (TRAS) is the leading vascular complication following kidney transplantation (KT), causing premature allograft loss and increased post-KT mortality. While risk factors for TRAS, such as prolonged cold ischemia time and delayed graft function, are well-documented in deceased donor-KT, the risk factors remain less clearly defined in living donor-KT. This matched case-control study, conducted at a leading national transplant center predominantly performing living donor-KT, evaluated risk factors and long-term outcomes of clinical TRAS (cTRAS). cTRAS cases diagnosed from January 2009 to December 2022 were matched with four control kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) in a study powered to assess whether ex-vivo arterial vascular reconstruction of multiple
