ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to better understand and treat a condition called renal artery stenosis, which can happen after a kidney transplant. Renal artery stenosis occurs when the artery supplying blood to the transplanted kidney becomes narrowed, which can lead to kidney problems and even transplant failure if not treated. The study focuses on whether a specific treatment method called endovascular treatment—using techniques like angioplasty (a procedure to widen the artery) and stent placement (inserting a small tube to keep the artery open)—is effective for patients with this condition.

To participate in this trial, you need to be at least 18 years old, have received a kidney transplant, and have been diagnosed with renal artery stenosis. Participants will have the opportunity to receive the recommended treatment and help contribute to important research that could improve care for future kidney transplant patients. The trial is currently recruiting participants of all genders, and your involvement may help doctors better understand the best ways to treat this condition.
