Introduction: Renal artery aneurysm (RAA) is a rare vascular disease with a mortality rate of up to 80% upon rupture. This study aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of ex situ repair and autotransplantation for endovascularly untreatable RAA.
Methods: A retrospective nationwide cohort study was conducted in RAA patients undergoing ex situ repair and autotransplantation in the Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- In the Netherlands, organ donation after euthanasia (DCD-V) has increased since 2012, but the outcomes of kidney transplants from DCD-V donors haven't been fully explored.
- A study aimed to compare the outcomes of DCD-V kidney transplants with those from DCD-III and brain-dead (DBD) donors, analyzing data from 2012 to 2023.
- Results showed that DCD-V kidney transplants had a significantly lower incidence of delayed graft function compared to DCD-III, suggesting DCD-V may be a viable option to expand the kidney donor pool.
Background: The impact of aortoiliac occlusive disease on kidney transplantation remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the clinical outcomes of kidney transplant patients with aortoiliac atherosclerotic stenosis.
Methods: Retrospective data from our transplant center were used to identify patients undergoing kidney transplantation between January 2010 and December 2020.
Ipsilateral Aorto-Iliac Calcification is Not Directly Associated With eGFR After Kidney Transplantation: A Prospective Cohort Study Analyzed Using a Linear Mixed Model.

February 2023
Aorto-iliac calcification (AIC) is a well-studied risk factor for post-transplant cardiovascular events and mortality. Its effect on graft function remains unknown. The primary aim of this prospective cohort study was to assess the association between AIC and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in the first year post-transplant.

Objectives: To assess the short- and long-term outcomes of patients who underwent both BS and KT and to determine the optimal timing of BS.
