Abstract
Renal transplantation is the most successful treatment for end-stage renal disease, and the number of living-donor nephrectomies has been rising over the years due to the advantages it offers over deceased donors. Although this surgery is considered safe, it can be associated with complications amplified by the fact that it is performed on a healthy individual. Renal artery thrombosis is a rare disease that needs prompt diagnosis and treatment to avoid renal function deterioration, which becomes even more important in cases of solitary kidneys. We report the first case of renal artery thrombosis after laparoscopic living-donor nephrectomy treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis.
