The Role of Endovascular Intervention in Treating Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis

Abstract

Robert ?wider

Kidney transplantation is a life-saving procedure for individuals suffering from end-stage renal disease. Despite its potential to significantly improve patients' quality of life, it is not without complications. Transplant renal artery stenosis is one such vascular issue that may arise post-transplantation, posing a serious threat to the viability of the transplanted kidney and potentially leading to graft loss if left unaddressed. This article delves into the complexities of TRAS, its potential consequences on both the transplanted organ and the overall health of the recipient. Emphasizing the significance of timely and appropriate diagnosis and treatment, we highlight the crucial role of medical professionals in preserving successful kidney transplants and avoiding severe systemic repercussions. By shedding light on the challenges associated with TRAS, this article aims to raise awareness among healthcare practitioners, ultimately contributing to enhanced patient outcomes and improved long-term transplant success rates.
