title: Salvage of a Live-Related Transplant Kidney Using an Interposition Polytetrafluoroethylene Vascular Graft: A Unique Case.
abstract: We describe a case of polytetrafluoroethylene vascular graft interposition between the internal iliac artery and the renal artery in a live-related kidney transplant. To the best of our knowledge, we present the first case in the literature that describes the salvage of a transplant kidney using this technique.
