Popis: and importance: Transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) is a well-recognized vascular complication after kidney transplant that can lead to graft loss, when it is diagnosed early and treated appropriately it may prevent kidney damage and related systemic squeals.This case-series represents our center experience in managing TRAS using percutaneous transluminal angioplasty [either balloon angioplasty (PTA) or stent placement (PTAS)] in 11 patients.All treated patients experienced immediate total recovery of renal function and normalization of arterial blood pressure without any drug or reducing the number of drugs used; no complications related to the intervention were reported.PTA or PTAS of TRAS can be considered safe and effective when it diagnosed and treated early.
