Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of transplant renal artery stenosis.
Renal artery stenosis after renal transplant is a dreaded complication. We report two cases of post-renal transplant stenosis in internal iliac artery used for end-to-end anastomosis with the graft renal artery. Both patients were successfully treated by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with stenting of the internal iliac artery.
