Renal Transplant Artery Autologous Saphenous Vein Graft Aneurysms: Late Presentation and the Need for Recall and Surveillance

Case Report: The Use of Cryopreserved Saphenous Vein in Reconstruction of Transplant Renal Artery Dissection

“…Previous studies with autologous saphenous vein transplant renal artery reconstruction have demonstrated concerns with late complications such as pseudoaneurysm formation and stenosis. [35][36][37] However, we have shown cryopreserved saphenous vein to be a potentially suitable alternative to saphenous vein autograft, prosthetic, or other conduits in the mid-term. Future studies are needed to determine the utility and safety of cryopreserved vessel allograft for long-term transplant vessel reconstruction.…”
