XXXX after 725 kidney transplantations during 3 decades.

Among 725 renal transplantations, the most common @entity455 was @entity2791 , which was observed in 23 @entity1 (3.17%). The majority of 20 (6.49%) arterial stenoses appeared in our initial experiences when we routinely used end-to-end renal graft to internal iliac artery anastomoses. A significant reduction in this incidence (0.72%) was achieved by introducing end-to-side anastomoses of the renal graft artery to the external or common iliac arteries. Intractable @entity101 or @entity8 in 14 @entity1 (60.87%) with @entity2791 demanded treatment. Patch angioplasty was more successful than other methods. The limited possibilities of conservative treatment of arterial @entity101 at that time were the main reason for this frequent surgical repair. Among other @entity455 , the most serious were 12 episodes of @entity548 in 10 @entity1 . Five kidneys were lost because of ruptured arterial anastomoses. In 6 @entity1 , the common or external iliac artery was ligated as to achieve hemostasis with acute @entity9085 of the lower extremity in 4 @entity1 . One @entity1 required leg amputation, whereas 2 underwent extra-anatomic bypass procedures and 1 died because of @entity1578 . The majority of @entity455 occurred in the initial period of our transplantation practice. However, in spite of progress in diagnostic and treatment options, @entity455 may cause considerable clinical problems.
