[The spectrum of the findings of arterial digital subtraction angiography in patients following kidney transplantation].
Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was performed in 53 of 417 patients with renal transplants. The incidence of clinical apparent vascular complications was 9.1% of all patients with renal transplants (38/417). The most frequent vascular disorders were formed by arterial stenoses at 5.0% of the cases followed by arterial obstructions in 1.7% of the patients. Rare vascular complications were arteriovenous fistulas (0.7%), aneurysms (0.5%) and venous thromboses (0.2%). Because of the high diagnostic value of intraarterial DSA, all patients with renal transplants with a complicated postoperative course should be eligible for angiographic control. In case of a suspected vascular disorder intraarterial DSA should be performed at an early stage.
