All over the world there is serious concern about the shortage of organs available for transplantation. In an effort to address this, transplantation with grafts, which was previously considered a contraindication, are now performed. In some cases, this practice has contributed to increasing the organ pool. Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is the second-most-common cause of renovascular hypertension and is observed in 2%-6.6% of potential live kidney donors. Kidney with FMD is generally considered to be a contraindication for renal transplantation because renal artery stenosis may progress after transplantation and cause graft loss. Here, we report on a successful case of kidney transplantation using a graft with FMD of a deceased donor who had multiple aneurysms in the renal artery.
