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 looks at how to improve blood pressure control and overall health in children after a kidney transplant. It tests a program to help manage high blood pressure and prevent future heart problems.
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 a new way to decide if opening a narrowed kidney artery will help lower high blood pressure. It uses a special wire to measure pressure inside the artery before treatment.
This study tests a drug-coated balloon used during a kidney-artery procedure for people with non-atherosclerotic (non–plaque-related) narrowing. It may help improve blood flow to the kidney and better control blood pressure, while also checking safety.
