Renovascular hypertension after transplantation of a kidney perfused via multiple renal arteries. 1981

D D Oakes, and E K Spees, and J A Light

A case presented in which a kidney with multiple (four) renal arteries was perfused by cannulating the two larger vessels. In spite of precautions to minimize damage at the sites of cannulation, stenosis developed at the orifices of the two principal vessels. This resulted in renovascular hypertension and led eventually to transplant nephrectomy. A technique has subsequently been developed to permit perfusion preservation without direct cannulation of the renal arteries. This completely eliminates cannula-related injury as a cause of renal artery stenosis.

D012078	Renal Artery Obstruction	Narrowing or occlusion of the RENAL ARTERY or arteries. It is due usually to ATHEROSCLEROSIS; FIBROMUSCULAR DYSPLASIA; THROMBOSIS; EMBOLISM, or external pressure. The reduced renal perfusion can lead to renovascular hypertension (HYPERTENSION, RENOVASCULAR).

D002404	Catheterization	Use or insertion of a tubular device into a duct, blood vessel, hollow organ, or body cavity for injecting or withdrawing fluids for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes. It differs from INTUBATION in that the tube here is used to restore or maintain patency in obstructions.	Cannulation,Cannulations,Catheterizations
