One cause is when an aortic hole puncher used to create a round opening for implantation leads to an excessive loss of tissue. In such instances, the stenosis is usually appreciated after the transplant renal artery is already implanted.The stenosis is resolved by incising the dorsal aspect of the stenosed artery (opposite to the site of implantation of the kidney) and augmenting it with a patch (vein from either the donor or the recipient, prosthetic material, bovine pericardium, other). This technique allows for repair of the stenotic area without having to remove and subsequently re-implant the kidney.
