Objective To investigate the effect of vascular interventional therapy on transplanted
renal arterial stenosis(TRAS). Methods The patients with concurrent TRAS among 513 patients with renal
transplantation were retrospectively enrolled. The changes of creatinine,blood pressure and hemodynamic index
of transplanted renal hemography in patients 1 week,1 month,3 months,and 6 months after treatment were
compared. Results Of the 513 patients with kidney transplantation,9 experienced concurrent TRAS,with an
incidence rate of 1.75%. The 9 patients were treated with vascular interventional treatment,8 patients received simple
balloon expansion and 1 patient was implanted with vascular stents after balloon expansion. In patients with cystic
dilation,3 cases recurred within 2 months of surgery,with a secondary stenosis rate of 33.3%,and the secondary cystic
dilation was successful. All patients were followed up for 6 months,and one patient died of lung infection 4 months
after vascular intervention therapy. Blood creatinine in pre-treatment patients was(142.3±59.6)μmol/L,and were
(133.5±57.2)μmol/L,(131.8±35.6)μmol/L,(127.0±29.9)μmol/L,(125.7±37.1)μmol/L at 1 week,1 month,
3 months,6 months after treatment,respectively. Although there is no statistical difference,there is a downward
trend after treatment. Pre-treatment systolic pressure was(149.7±19.3)mmHg(1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa),the value
were(131.3±4.1)mmHg,(136.2±7.9)mmHg,(128.5±6.6)mmHg,(127.1±3.6)mmHg at 1 week,1 month,3 months,6 months after treatment. Systolic pressure was significantly reduced compared with pre-treatment level.
The Pre-treatment transplanted renal aortic peak systolic velocity(PSV)was(297.2±105.3)cm/s,the velocity were
(171±56.3)cm/s,(185.8±64.8)cm/s,(197.5±69.1)cm/s,(178.8±75.4)cm/s at 1 week,1 month,3 months,
6 months after treatment, There are statistical differences compared with pre-treatment. The interfolate arterial PSV,
interfolate artery resistance index were similar at 1 week,1 month,3 months,6 months after treatment compared to
preoperative levels. Conclusion Vascular interventional therapy is effective in improving the transplanted kidney
function of TRAS patients.
