title: Use of N-acetylcholine and sodium bicarbonate to protect renal transplant function during endovascular renal artery aneurysm exclusion.
abstract: We describe the successful use of hydration with sodium bicarbonate and N-acetylcholine to prevent contrast-induced nephrophathy in a patient with a kidney transplant undergoing endovascular native renal artery aneurysm exclusion. The implications for surveillance studies for endovascular procedures are discussed.
