title: The second short-term warm ischemia after vascular anastomosis did not affect early renal function recovery in renal transplantation: a case report.
abstract: Ischemic postconditioning was defined as rapid intermittent interruptions of blood flow in the early phase of reperfusion, which has been found to be protective against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in animal models but not in clinical trials.We describe a case that the allograft renal vein was twisted because of the surgeon's mistake, which caused the warm ischemia of allograft after reperfusion. The allograft restored blood flow without second reperfusion and cold preservation after 9 min of warm ischemia. The patient was followed up for 3 months and the allograft worked well without complications.
