Graft and surgery-related complications still pose a problem in kidney transplant surgery. Vascular complications due to surgery can be severe, threatening both graft and recipient life. Various treatment approaches have been described in the literature for vascular complications diagnosed peri-operatively and post-operatively. However, studies that provide long-term results on which approach will be applied in which period and in which conditions are limited. In this case report, we share our 6-year patient follow-up experience and repair of external iliac artery dissection related to renal transplantation with internal iliac artery transposition.

May-Thurner syndrome (MTS), iliac vein compression syndrome, also called Cockett syndrome, is a vascular disease caused by the compression of the left common iliac vein (LCIV) by the right common iliac artery (RCIA) against the lumbar vertebrae. This anatomical defect can lead to venous stasis especially in the left lower limb, and this increases the risk of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). Because routine screening is not standard practice, MTS frequently remains asymptomatic, and its prevalence is probably underestimated.

May-Thurner syndrome is an anatomical anomaly characterized by venous compression of the iliac vein by the arterial system. It is more common in women. It may be asymptomatic or lead to symptoms related to hypertension/venous occlusion, namely, edema of the lower limb.

Background: Aortoiliac screening before kidney transplantation is suggested by some guidelines to select patients for transplantation and to assist surgical planning. We investigated the clinical outcomes of systematic screening for aortoiliac disease in potential kidney transplant candidates.
Methods: In this observational study, 470 potential kidney transplant candidates underwent aortoiliac computed tomography angiography.

Background: The aim of the study was to explore a feasible method for alleviating limb ischemia-reperfusion injury (LI/RI) through the use of a high-concentration citrate solution (HC-A solution) for limb perfusion (LP).
Methods: Eighteen pigs were divided into three groups: the Sham group, LI/RI group, and HCA group. The Sham group underwent exposure of the iliac artery and vein.

Background: Aortoiliac disease (AID) is a variant of peripheral artery disease involving the infrarenal aorta and iliac arteries. Similar to other arterial diseases, aortoiliac disease obstructs blood flow through narrowed lumens or by embolization of plaques. AID, when symptomatic, may present with a triad of claudication, impotence, and absence of femoral pulses, a triad also referred as Leriche Syndrome (LS).
