Chin J Traumatol. 2008 Oct;11(5):311-4. doi: 10.1016/s1008-1275(08)60063-2.

Abstract

Massive hemorrhage from infected anastomosed site between the graft artery and the external iliac artery is one of the most serious complications of renal transplantation. Clinically, it is a rare but fatal occasion. We reported here one case of hemorrhage with infection in the iliac artery anastomosed site treated successfully with hypogastric artery autograft interposition in March 2003.
