What this trial studies
This study focuses on evaluating the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment, specifically stenting, for patients with renal artery stenosis following kidney transplantation. It aims to assess technical success and graft salvage rates, as well as the complication rates associated with this treatment. The study includes a retrospective phase analyzing data from January 2020 to April 2023, followed by a prospective phase that will continue for two years starting in May 2023.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve outcomes for kidney transplant patients by effectively treating renal artery stenosis and potentially preventing transplant failure.
How similar studies have gone: Previous studies have shown success with endovascular treatments for renal artery stenosis, indicating that this approach is supported by existing literature.
