Abstract

To identify risk factors that predisposes patients to vascular complications from allograft nephrectomy and to determine the safe management of this group of patients. This is a retrospective review of 1543 renal transplants performed in our institution between January 1990 and January 2002. During this period, 161 (10.4%) transplant nephrectomies were performed, of which we identified nine patients (5.6%) who sustained significant vascular complications. Seven patients required ligation of external iliac artery for control of haemorrhage. Immediate vascular reconstructions (femoral-femoral cross-over bypass in two cases and one vein patch to an external iliac artery defect) were performed in three patients. Two patients had endovascular stenting of their external iliac artery pseudoaneurysm. No patient suffered limb loss. However, three patients died-two died from overwhelming sepsis and one patient died of an intra-cerebral haemorrhage. While vascular complications associated with transplant nephrectomy are relatively rare, they are associated with a significantly poor outcome. Immediate attempts to reconstruct the vascular supply to the lower limb are associated with a high complication rate. We advocate that where possible,...Continue Reading

Allogenic & Autologous Therapies

Allogenic therapies are generated in large batches from unrelated donor tissues such as bone marrow. In contrast, autologous therapies are manufactures as a single lot from the patient being treated. Here is the latest research on allogenic and autologous therapies.

Aneurysm

Aneurysms are outward distensions or bulges that occurs in a weakened wall of blood vessels. Discover the latest research on aneurysms here.
