Blood Vessel Problems After Kidney Transplant Treatment
Part of Heart & circulation, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at treating narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in transplanted kidneys. If your transplanted kidney is showing signs of not working well and imaging shows a blocked vessel, this trial tests whether a procedure called angioplasty (opening the vessel with a tiny balloon) can help restore blood flow and improve kidney function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had a kidney transplant and have either kidney function dropping significantly or high blood pressure that won't come down despite three or more medications
- Imaging tests (CT, MRI, or ultrasound) show narrowing of the blood vessel supplying your kidney, or a procedure shows blockage of 50% or more
- You are able to understand the study and give your own informed consent
- You are not pregnant and have not had a prior procedure to open this same blood vessel
- You can safely take blood-thinning medication after the treatment procedure

This trial studies whether placing a small stent in a severely narrowed kidney artery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, artery-hardening kidney blood-flow problems. It focuses on people whose high blood pressure or kidney function has been getting worse despite multiple medications.
This study tests a new approach to help children who have had a kidney transplant and still have high blood pressure. The goal is to improve their blood pressure and overall health after transplant.
This trial tests whether adding an “alkali” treatment (to raise low blood bicarbonate) can improve blood vessel and kidney graft function in people whose kidney transplant is about 1 year old. It may help if you have lower-than-normal bicarbonate levels while on stable transplant and blood pressure medicines.
This trial tests a procedure to fix blocked or damaged blood vessels in the pelvis so you can get a kidney transplant. It might help if your blood vessels are the only reason you can't have a transplant yet.
This trial tests a treatment for a condition that can happen after a kidney transplant, where the artery to the new kidney becomes narrowed. If you have been told you have this problem, the study may help find the best way to treat it.
This trial tests whether using a pressure wire to guide treatment of narrowed kidney arteries helps lower blood pressure better than usual care. It may help people with severe high blood pressure caused by kidney artery blockages.
