What this Trial Is About
Renal artery stenosis is a complication that can occur after kidney transplantation, involving narrowing of the artery which may cause symptoms or worsening kidney function. This condition can lead to transplant failure, but the best ways to treat it are still debated. European guidelines recommend endovascular treatment such as angioplasty or stent placement as the first option. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of stenting in patients with this condition following kidney transplant. The study includes patients who have undergone endovascular treatment for renal artery stenosis after kidney transplantation. It covers a retrospective phase from January 2020 to April 2023 and a prospective phase starting May 2023 for up to two years. The treatment involves placing stents to open the narrowed artery and improve blood flow to the transplanted kidney. Participants will be monitored for technical success in reducing artery narrowing and for improvements in kidney function over an average period of three years from enrollment. The study tracks complications to assess safety. Patients will have follow-up evaluations to measure these outcomes, contributing to understanding how well stenting works and how safe it is for this condition.
