Transplanted renal artery stenosis: a case report and review of literature

ABSTRACT

Transplant renal artery strenosis [TRAS] is a relatively frequent, potentially curable cause of refractory hypertension and allograft dysfunction and usually becomes apparent between 3 months and 2 years after transplantation. Depending on the hemodynamic significance of stenosis it can be treated conservatively or revascularization. Here we describe a case of TRAS which was treated successfully with angioplasty and stenting and then we will have a review on its etiology, natural history, diagnosis and therapy
