Perfused nonfunctioning renal allograft : case report and review of the literature

Abstract EN

We report a case of very early postoperative iatrogenic dissection of common iliac artery (CIA), external iliac artery (EIA) causing acute ischemia of the right lower limb, and impairing the perfusion of a renal allograft.

This was managed successfully by graft nephrectomy and interposition polytetrafluoroethylene grafting of the CIA and EIA with re-implantation of the kidney allograft and restoration of its perfusion and function, together with restoration of the lower limb circulation
