Homotransplant renal artery stenosis.

T J Doyle, W R McGregor, P S Fox

    Surgery
    |January 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Kidney transplant recipients can develop renal artery stenosis, a narrowing of the artery. Angiography is recommended for patients with severe hypertension, and surgical correction can cure the condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Transplant Medicine

    Background:

    • Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a potential complication following kidney transplantation.
    • Stenoses are typically located distal to the surgical anastomosis.
    • Two distinct types, angulation and segmental stenosis, have been identified.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the incidence and characteristics of transplant renal artery stenosis.
    • To identify clinical indicators for diagnosing RAS in kidney transplant recipients.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical intervention for hypertension secondary to RAS.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 101 consecutive kidney transplant cases.
    • Identification and classification of renal artery stenoses.
    • Clinical correlation with patient symptoms, hypertension management, and surgical outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Transplant renal artery stenosis was observed in 12% (12/101) of patients.
    • All stenoses were distal to the anastomosis, presenting as angulation or segmental types.
    • Surgical correction in 9 of 12 patients resulted in a cure of their hypertension.

    Conclusions:

    • Severe diastolic hypertension refractory to medical management and an audible abdominal bruit warrant angiography in transplant patients.
    • Surgical correction of transplant renal artery stenosis is an effective treatment for associated hypertension.
    • Early diagnosis and intervention can significantly improve outcomes for kidney transplant recipients with RAS.
