Abstract

En bloc kidney transplant is a surgical treatment option that increases available donor organs and has excellent graft survival for patients with end-stage renal disease. Herein, we report a case of dissection of the external iliac artery that occurred during en bloc kidney transplant in an adult recipient. The en bloc kidneys were removed, flushed, and then reimplanted after restoring the blood flow to the lower limb. To our knowledge, this is the first case of dissection of the external iliac artery managed successfully during en bloc kidney transplant.
