Kidney transplant in the presence of massively calcified vessels: A surgical challenge - A case report

Abstract

Kidney transplant in the presence of calcified vessels becomes a challenging task. There is a possibility of intraoperative complications and occasionally graft loss. Here, we present a case where we performed a kidney transplant in such a patient and discuss the importance of proper imaging and the surgical technique adapted by us to carry out the transplant.
