Allograft biopsy is a cornerstone in the management of transplanted kidneys. It is a safe procedure, often performed in the outpatient setting. A rare complication is formation of a postbiopsy arteriovenous fistula (AVF). We present here a report of two cases of postbiopsy AVFs treated endovascularly. Selective embolization is a safe and effective method of treatment of postbiopsy AVFs in renal allografts.
同种异体肾活检是移植肾管理的基石。这是一种安全的操作,通常在门诊进行。一种罕见的并发症是活检后动静脉瘘(AVF)的形成。我们在此报告两例经血管内治疗的活检后AVF病例。选择性栓塞是治疗同种异体肾移植活检后AVF的一种安全有效的方法。
