Popis: Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a relatively frequent, potentially curable cause of refractory hypertension and allograft dysfunction and usually becomes apparent between 2 months and 2 years after renal transplantation. Depending on the hemodynamic significance of stenosis it can be treated conservatively or by revascularization. Here we describe a case of TRAS which was treated successfully with angioplasty with a brief review of its etiology, natural history, diagnosis and therapy.
