- Abstract
Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) possibly occurs in the perioperative period, and induces serious complications such as a pulmonary embolism. On the other hand, allograft renal vein thrombosis leads to a high incidence of graft loss. We experienced a case in which a serious DVT occurred prior to renal transplantation; however, a successful renal transplantation in the right iliac fossa was performed after 2 years of anticoagulant therapy. It is suggested that the external iliac vein even after suffering from DVT can be anastomosed to an allograft vein successfully, when enough blood flow or a lower venous pressure is confirmed. However, one should be aware of the risk factors and the adequate management of thrombosis in renal transplantation because of the serious complications of DVT and the poor prognosis of allograft vein thrombosis.
