Transplantation Proceedings

Abstract

Transmission of donor infections to immunosuppressed recipients may produce serious complications. Here, we report two cases of ruptured renal artery pseudoaneurysm within a few months after renal transplantation from a donor with Gorham's syndrome, a rare disease characterized by proliferation of vascular and lymphatic channels associated with extensive bony destruction. The donor had died of respiratory failure, sepsis, and anoxic brain death due to difficult airway control secondary to a maxillofacial deformity.
