title: Early post transplantation renal allograft perfusion failure due to intimal dissection of the renal artery.
abstract: Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a recognized and potentially curable cause of post transplant arterial hypertension, allograft dysfunction, and graft loss. It usually occurs 3 months to 2 years after transplantation, but early or later presentations are not uncommon. We present a case of renal artery narrowing due to intimal dissection that was managed medically.
