Abstract
- Surgical complications are still an important cause of graft loss after kidney transplantation. The most serious of these complications is arterial anastomosis rupture, which may cause not only graft loss and lower limb ischemia but can also be fatal. This paper presents a case of life-threatening transplant renal artery rupture after cadaveric kidney transplantation in China. With regard to cadaveric kidney transplantation in China, the shortage of donor information and operative findings is an obstacle to the post-transplant evaluation and management of overseas transplant recipients. Moreover, a high incidence of surgical complications and infection are present in this population of patients;therefore, these patients should be monitored more closely.
