Angiography and interventional aspects of renal transplantation.
Interventional techniques play key roles in the management of the renal transplant donor and recipient. With prompt diagnosis and intervention, postoperative vascular and urologic complications frequently may be treated by nonsurgical means. Current concepts in percutaneous intervention for renal transplant patients are discussed. Topics include transluminal angioplasty of arterial stenoses, treatment of arterial or venous occlusion, embolization of intrarenal arteriovenous fistula or pseudoaneurysm, management of periallograft fluid collections, and therapy for urinary obstruction or leak.
