Popis: Stenosis of vessels proximal to the renal artery is an unusual cause of allograft ischemia. We report four patients who had such 'suprarenal' arterial stenoses leading to graft dysfunction that was reversed with revascularization. We additionally review the existing literature on this entity, outline the etiologies of such stenoses, as well as discuss the surgical and non-surgical therapeutic options in patients with this uncommon cause of allograft dysfunction.
