Abstract

Blood vessel complications are one of most important problems in patients after renal transplantation. They influence graft chances and they are also often direct life threat, requiring fast diagnosis and immediate surgical treatment.

We discuss occurrence and severity of septic hemorrhages, usual coexisting complications, ways of surgical treatment, course of infections leading to hemorrhage and similar cases reported. As the most frequent surgical techniques we found bypass axillo-femoralis, femoro-femoralis suprapubic and through formanen obturatorius and this kind of treatment as the most effective.
