Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of multi-mode interventional therapy for complications occurring after renal transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 26 patients with complications occurring after renal transplantation were retrospectively analyzed.Vascular and non-vascular complications were treated with different interventional techniques,and the curative effects were analyzed.Results Vascular complications were observed in 19 patients and non-vascular complications were seen in 7patients.The technical success rate of interventional therapy was 100％.One week after the treatment,the total creatinine level (SCr) was significantly improved,which decreased from preoperative (372.7±295.5)μmol/L to postoperative (184.3±138.4) μmol/L (P＜0.001).No severe complications occurred.Further analysis indicated that no statistically significant differences in patient's general condition,kidney donor source,anastomosis method existed between vascular intervention group and non-vascular intervention (P＞0.05).However,the onset time of vascular complications was markedly earlier than that of non-vascular complications (1.8± 1.4 months vs.118.3 ±54.4 months),the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.001).During the follow-up period lasting for 4-55 months (mean of 18.6 months),3 patients developed recurrence of complications;interventional therapy had to be carried out in 2 patients and their creatinine level returned to normal after treatment,and transplanted renal artery embolization had to be performed in the other patient as whose pseudoaneurysm became enlarged.Conclusion For the treatment of complications occurring after renal transplantation,interventional therapy is less-invasive,rapidly-effective and safe,this technique can timely and effectively improve the renal function and save the transplanted kidney.
