Abstract
True degenerative aneurysms involving the donor renal artery after kidney transplantation are rather rare. The indications for operation and optimal therapy to combat this vascular complication are still not clear. Surgical revision has been used as a potential treatment: nonetheless, it has been associated with high risk of complications. In the present study, we report on a 31-year-old woman with a true aneurysm located at a transplant renal artery after transplantation which was successfully managed with stent-assisted coil embolization, resulting in occluded aneurysm sac and well-preserved renal function without any complication. We present technical details of this endovascular procedure, which may be useful for transplant renal artery aneurysm repair in high-risk surgical patients.
