Repair experience of external iliac artery dissection using internal iliac artery transposition during renal transplantation

Abstract

Graft and surgery-related complications still pose a problem in kidney transplant surgery. Vascular complications due to surgery can be severe, threatening both graft and recipient life. Various treatment approaches have been described in the literature for vascular complications diagnosed peri-operatively and post-operatively. However, studies that provide long-term results on which approach will be applied in which period and in which conditions are limited. In this case report, we share our 6-year patient follow-up experience and repair of external iliac artery dissection related to renal transplantation with internal iliac artery transposition.
