Intravenöse DSA nach Nierentransplantation

Abstract

Intravenous DSA is a simple angiographic technique in the follow-up of patients with renal transplants. It is of value in the post-operative anuric phase, for investigating renal function which is deteriorating and for demonstrating, or excluding, stenosis of the renal artery at the anastomosis during the development of hypertension. Changes in the peripheral arteries are not usually demonstrable. Reduced opacification of the parenchyma is observed during rejection and if there has been damage to the transplant, but is not seen if the transplant is functioning normally.
