What considerations do you take when evaluating a patient for kidney transplantation who has a history of kidney disease and an abdominal aortic aneurysm treated with past stenting?
Answer from: at Community Practice
If the external iliac vessels are spared then the patient does not have an absolute contraindication to transplantation. The risk factors associated with the AAA will need careful review, e.g., smoking, cholesterol, hypertension, CAD, and other vascular diseases, and mitigated if possible.
