|January 1, 1991
Abstract:
A 26-year-old renal transplant recipient with graft artery stenosis underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), which was followed by extensive renal artery dissection leading to graft loss. This report reminds one that, although widely considered a safe procedure, PTA is not free of complications.
