This case report follows a 64-year-old male patient who underwent deceased-donor renal transplantation for end-stage renal disease secondary to chronic hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. On presentation, he displayed signs of volume overload, significant weight and blood pressure increases, and minimal urine output. Initial ultrasound revealed elevated peak systolic velocity at the transplant kidney anastomotic site, suggesting post-transplant renal artery stenosis along with a larger-than-expected iliac artery concerning for pseudoaneurysm, later confirmed with subsequent CT scan findings. This case outlines the rare nature of pseudoaneurysm post-renal transplant and emphasizes the efficacy of CT as a tool for diagnosis when ultrasound findings are equivocal.
本病例报告的患者为一名64岁男性,因慢性高血压和2型糖尿病继发终末期肾病,接受了尸体供肾肾移植手术。就诊时,他表现出容量超负荷、体重和血压显著升高以及尿量极少的症状。最初的超声检查显示移植肾吻合部位的收缩期峰值流速升高,提示移植后肾动脉狭窄,同时髂动脉比预期大,怀疑有假性动脉瘤,随后的CT扫描结果证实了这一情况。本病例概述了肾移植后假性动脉瘤的罕见情况,并强调了在超声检查结果不明确时,CT作为诊断工具的有效性。
