Reconstruction of a Lower Polar Artery for Kidney Transplantation Using Donor Ovarian Vein: Case Report with Literature Review
Conclusions: If an inferior polar artery is severed, vascular reconstruction must be performed to preserve the function of the graft. Usually, the gonadal vein is available during donor nephrectomy; therefore, it can be explanted without additional difficulties or incisions. Although we have not reported any complications, further studies are recommended on the long-term outcomes of this alternative approach for the reconstruction of short renal arteries.PMID:34833466 | PMC:PMC8618098 | DOI:10.3390/medicina57111248
