Aortoiliac Intervention with Distal Protection to Salvage a Heterotopic Renal Transplant

Abstract

A case of substantial debris captured by an embolic protection device placed in a patient's transplanted renal artery during common iliac artery angioplasty and stent placement is presented. To the authors knowledge, no previous literature exists pertaining to renal artery protection in patients with a history of a heterotopic renal transplant undergoing aortoiliac endovascular interventions.
