“…Antegrade nephrostography is necessary to provide detailed information regarding the site of origin of the urinoma and to allow clinicians to plan appropriate intervention. 62 When the urine leak is significant, management options include placement of double-J stents to facilitate urine drainage, placement of a percutaneous urinoma drain, percutaneous nephrostomy to divert urinary flow, and surgical revision to repair the leak. 2 To reduce the risk of ureteral obstruction or urinary leak, several institutions have investigated the use of routine stent placement in all transplant procedures.…”

As advances in surgical techniques and postoperative care continue to improve outcomes, the use of solid organ transplants as a treatment for end-stage organ disease is increasing. With the growing population of transplant patients, there is an increasing need for radiologic diagnosis and minimally invasive procedures for the management of posttransplant complications. Typical complications may be vascular or nonvascular. Vascular complications include arterial stenosis, graft thrombosis, and development of fistulae. Common nonvascular complications consist of leaks, abscess formation, and stricture development. The use of interventional radiology in the management of these problems has led to better graft survival and lower patient morbidity and mortality. An understanding of surgical techniques, postoperative anatomy, radiologic findings, and management options for complications is critical for proficient management of complex transplant cases. This article reviews these factors for kidney, liver, pancreas, islet cell, lung, and small bowel transplants.
