ABSTRACT
Acute transplant renal artery thrombosis is a rare complication in kidney transplantation that often leads to renal allograft loss. We present the first case of acute renal artery thrombosis 3 months after kidney transplantation, treated with pharmacomechanical thrombectomy with adjunctive catheter-directed thrombolysis and stent placement. The graft was salvaged with restoration of renal function and renal artery patency at the 3-year follow-up point.
