Abstract

Background
The aim of this study was to identify the difference in ABI before and after surgery between internal iliac artery anastomosis and external iliac anastomosis in patients with DM.
Methods
This retrospective study consisted of a review of the medical records of 162 consecutive patients who underwent liv-ing donor kidney transplantation for end-stage renal disease from April 8, 2021 to July 11, 2022.
Results
There were 162 patients 124 with EIA anastomosis and 38 with IIA anastomosis included. There was no statistically sig-nificant difference of ABI before and after surgery between the two groups (P<0.12).
Conclusions
There was no difference in the ABI before and after surgery in the EIA anastomosis and the IIA anastomosis group. The short ABI f/u period may act as a limitation, and additional research is needed. However, the result of this study was that the EIA anastomosis did not cause PAD even in patients with DM.
