Acute Page Kidney Complicating Kidney Transplant Artery Stenting Presentation of a Case and Novel Management

Abstract

We present a rare complication of transplant renal artery stenting in a patient who developed subcapsular hematoma and presented as acute page kidney. We discuss possible mechanisms and successful novel management using radiological-assisted decompression.

We propose considering this alternative option before proceeding with surgical exploration and renal capsulotomy.
