title: [Resolution with vascular endoprosthesis after first angioplasty failure in the treatment of post-transplant stenosis of the renal artery].
abstract: We report a case of renal artery stenosis after a living transplant kidney, treated successfully with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and vascular endoprosthesis. PTA is the initial treatment of choice for most patients with high grade transplant renal artery stenosis. Surgical revascularization is indicated if PTA cannot be done or is unsuccessful.
