Salvage of Solitary Renal Autotransplant with Early Graft Thrombosis and Abdominal Mesh Closure

Abstract

Fibromuscular dysplasia is a common cause of non-atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis in the young patient population leading to resistant hypertension. This is typically diagnosed radiologically and is often less responsive to endovascular revascularisation given the non-atherosclerotic nature of stenosis. As a result, surgery may be the only durable option for patients whereby hypertension is uncontrolled by medical management.
