Post-infectious diffuse venous stenosis after renal transplantation: duplex ultrasonography and CT angiography.
Venous stenosis is a rare vascular complication of renal transplantation. Venous stenosis usually occurs in early postoperative stage and manifests as a focal narrowing. We report a case of diffuse venous stenosis after 5 months following transplantation, which was suggested on duplex ultrasonography and directly visualized on CT angiography.
