Purpose: Stenoses of the renal transplant vein may result in venous thrombosis and lead to loss of the organ. However, no generally accepted definition of a relevant renal vein stenosis exists in the current literature. We conducted a prospective controlled study after living renal transplantation using duplex sonography to access renal perfusion. Methods and Materials: Duplex sonography was performed of the donor kidney before transplantation (resistive index), directly postoperative, and one as well as three month after transplantation. Using a standardized protocol the following parameters were collected afte…
