Abstract

Introduction: and importance: Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a well-recognized vascular complication after kidney transplant that can lead to graft loss, when it is diagnosed early and treated appropriately it may prevent kidney damage and related systemic squeals.

Case Presentation: This case-series represents our center experience in managing TRAS using percutaneous transluminal angioplasty [either balloon angioplasty (PTA) or stent placement (PTAS)] in 11 patients.

Clinical Discussion: All treated patients experienced immediate total recovery of renal function and normalization of arterial blood pressure without any drug or reducing the number of drugs used; no complications related to the intervention were reported.

Conclusion: PTA or PTAS of TRAS can be considered safe and effective when it diagnosed and treated early.
