Özet

Venous complications after renal transplantation are uncommon but are associated with significant morbidity and graft loss. Recipients with left common iliac vein compression due to an overlying common iliac artery (May-Thurner syndrome) may be predisposed to venous complications. We discuss the care of a living donor kidney transplant recipient who developed an occlusion of the iliac vein secondary to a combination of a hematoma and the underlying presence of May-Thurner syndrome. Endovascular stenting of the two areas of compression in the iliac vein was successful in restoring adequate venous return, while maintaining normal renal allograft function.
