Popis: | In recent years, the frequency of high-risk kidney transplantations has increased. We report a case in which a 72-year-old man with various severe comorbidities (prostate cancer, diabetes mellitus, complete atrioventricular block, coronary artery stenosis, severe stenosis of the popliteal arteries, and severe calcification of the iliac arteries) who received an orthotopic kidney transplantation. To prevent the occurrence of acute limb ischemia due to the steal phenomenon (caused by the kidney graft), we decided that a heterotopic kidney transplantation involving the iliac arteries was not an appropriate option. Therefore, as an alternative, left native nephrectomy was performed followed by an orthotopic kidney transplantation to the native renal artery and renal vein through a left subcostal incision. Postoperative ureteral stenosis occurred, and so stent exchange was required every 6 months. Despite the ureteral complication, the patient's serum creatinine level was 1.5 mg/dL at 2 years after the procedure. |
