  • Title: Iliac artery stenosis causing post-renal transplant hypertension: successful management by percutaneous angioplasty and stent implantation.
    Author: Mullasari AS, Umesan CV, Radhakrishnan N, Lakshmi V.
    Journal: J Invasive Cardiol; 2002 Apr; 14(4):212-3. PubMed ID: 11923579.
    Abstract:
    Atherosclerotic occlusion of the native iliac arteries and/or transplant renal artery is a major cause of post-transplant hypertension. Iliac artery stenosis mimics renovascular hypertension and may cause renal dysfunction in transplant recipients. We report a case of a 61-year-old renal transplant recipient with native bilateral iliac artery stenoses and coronary artery disease. He presented with severe hypertension and was managed successfully with angioplasty and stenting of native iliac arteries.
