摘要
A prospective trial was conducted to assess the accuracy of color aided duplex Doppler (CADD) sonography to rule out transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) and to determine feasibility and safety of intraarterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in hypertensive renal allograft recipients on an outpatient basis. All patients were hypertensive (n = 18, mean age: 42 +/- 11 years) and underwent CADD and an i.a. DSA with 4F catheters. There was a 4 hour rest post DSA. Duplex Doppler measurements of maximum velocity were obtained. Absolute values of greater-than-or-equal-to 100 cm/s were considered indicative to suspect TRAS. DSA revealed severe TRAS in 4 patients (22%). The stenoses were located near the iliorenal anastomosis (n = 2) and at the bifurcation of the renal artery (n = 2). Duplex Doppler classified twelve (67 %) renal artery pedicles normal (maximum velocity: 79 +/- 23 cm/s). TRAS was suspected in 6 patients with a maximum velocity of 159 +/- 48 cm/s (P< 0.01). False positive CADD diagnoses were due to tortuous graft vessels and a postbiopsy arteriovenous fistula. Sensitivity of CADD was 100%, specifity 86%. There were no DSA related complications. No impairment of graft function occurred. CADD allows renal angiography to be reserved to clarify an inconclusive ultrasound study and for definite diagnosis of angiomorphology and lesion classification. Intraarterial DSA of renal grafts in out-patients may be performed without an increased risk of procedure-related complications.
