摘要

Purpose

To describe a single-center experience with robotic-assisted endovascular treatment for transplant renal artery stenosis.

Materials and Methods

This is a single-center, retrospective, feasibility study of 4 consecutive cases of robotic-assisted endovascular surgery for transplant renal artery stenosis from October 2021 to August 2022.

Results

All lesions were identified, and stenting was performed with no complications. Conversion to manual control was not necessary. The mean fluoroscopy time was 25.25 min (range 12–60.9). A control Doppler ultrasound was routinely performed, demonstrating no residual lesions in all cases. There was no reintervention during the follow-up period. The operator learning curve was felt to be acceptable.

Conclusion

Robotic-assisted endovascular treatment is a feasible technique for transplant renal artery stenosis.
