Transplant renal artery (TRA) pseudoaneurysm can result in bleeding, infection, graft dysfunction and graft loss. We report the management of a renal transplant recipient who presented five months after renal transplantation with deterioration of renal function, who was found to have TRA pseudoaneurysm and TRA stenosis. Both were treated radiologically by using expandable hydrogel coils (EHC) in combination with stenting. Improvement in clinical, biochemical and radiological parameters were observed after the intervention. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the transplant literature on the use of EHC for the treatment of a TRA pseudoaneurysm.
移植肾动脉(TRA)假性动脉瘤可导致出血、感染、移植物功能障碍和移植物丢失。我们报告了一例肾移植受者的治疗情况,该受者在肾移植后五个月出现肾功能恶化,经检查发现患有TRA假性动脉瘤和TRA狭窄。通过使用可膨胀水凝胶弹簧圈(EHC)联合支架置入术对二者进行了放射治疗。干预后观察到临床、生化和影像学参数均有改善。据我们所知,这是移植文献中首次报道使用EHC治疗TRA假性动脉瘤。
