Abstract

Donor kidney loss due to acute thrombosis of the renal artery is a common and devastating complication of the procedure. However, this can be surgically treated with renal artery reconstruction using vascular grafts. The donor kidney can be protected from ischemia by transfusing cold autologous oxygenated blood perioperatively. This study analyses the use of autologous hypothermic blood perfusion & PTFE graft during renal artery reconstruction after acute thrombosis of transplant renal artery.
