Özet
Renal transplantation is a preferred treatment option because of its low long-term mortality and increased quality of life. However, complications after transplantation affect graft and patient survival. Transplant Renal Artery Stenosis (TRAS) is the most common vascular complication following renal transplantation affecting 1-23% of patients. Although it usually causes refractory hypertension, it can also cause graft loss. Although Peripheral Angiography (Digital subtraction angiography) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of TRAS, Doppler USG has become a primary imaging method because it is portable, inexpensive and noninvasive. There are surgical and endoluminal options in the treatment. In this report, a 16-year-old girl who had renal artery stenosis at the 4th month after renal transplantation and underwent percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty was reported. She is now in her second year of transplantation without any need for antihypertensive treatment and with preserved graft function.
