  • Title: Treatment of renal artery stenosis after kidney transplantation by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty: report of two cases.
    Author: Hu RH, Tsang YM, Lee PH, Lee CJ, Lee CS.
    Journal: J Formos Med Assoc; 1994 Oct; 93(10):875-8. PubMed ID: 7749342.
    Abstract:
    Graft renal artery stenosis is one of the causes of hypertension after kidney transplantation. Surgical angioplasty was the treatment of choice before the development of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in the 1970s. Surgical repair was associated with some morbidity and graft loss while PTA was reported to have controversial results in the treatment of this disease. This is a report of two cases of graft renal artery stenosis occurring four and seven months after kidney transplantation that were treated with PTA. The immediate and short-term results of PTA were excellent, but the long-term effects require further follow-up.
