Extrarenal pseudoaneurysms of transplanted kidneys are very rare but can have devastating consequences. In the past, these extrarenal pseudoaneurysms have often led to graft loss as well as significant morbidity and mortality. The role of advanced diagnostic imaging studies and of modern radiologic interventional management has not been studied. In this case series, we present four cases of extrarenal pseudoaneurysms of transplanted kidneys, describe the clinical scenarios and imaging that led to the angiographic diagnosis, and discuss the various endovascular and surgical approaches to management.

We report the case of a 51-year-old gentleman who underwent living renal transplantation in Pakistan for end-stage renal disease one and a half years ago. He presented to our hospital with renal artery stenosis and an extra-renal pseudoaneurysm at the anastomotic site of the transplanted kidney. This can cause graft dysfunction and hypertension due to impairment of arterial perfusion in the transplanted kidney.

The rate of bleeding complications related to percutaneous native renal biopsy is low, and pseudoaneurysms of the extrarenal arteries are rare. There have been a few reports of extrarenal artery injuries related to renal biopsy; however, to the best of our knowledge, there have not been any reports of injuries to the ileocolic artery or multiple injuries to extrarenal arteries. Herein, we report the case of an 87-year-old man who developed multiple vascular injuries: an arteriovenous fistula at the lower pole of the right kidney, pseudoaneurysms of the second lumbar artery, and an ileocolic artery 19 days after renal biopsy.

Renal transplantation is the ultimate treatment for end-stage renal disease patients. However, vascular complications can impact renal allograft outcomes. Extrarenal pseudoaneurysms (EPSA) are a rare complication occurring in 1% of transplant recipients.

Vascular complications remain common after renal transplantation, occurring in 3% to 15% of patients. These complications can compromise graft function,with graft loss rates ranging from 12.6 to 66.
