TASC: Aortoiliac Stenosis in Kidney Transplantation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The impact of aortoiliac stenosis on kidney transplant patients remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of kidney transplantation in patients with aortoiliac stenosis.

Detailed Description
Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Unfortunately, not all ESRD patients are eligible for kidney transplantation. Aortoiliac stenosis, an increasingly common type of peripheral arterial disease in ESRD patients, is considered as relative contra-indication for kidney transplantation. There are several reasons for concern, such as the complexity of the vascular anastomosis and inferior life expectancy. Consequently, it is still debated whether patients with aortoiliac stenosis would benefit from kidney transplantation.
This study aimed to supplement current literature on the safety and efficacy of kidney transplantation in patients with aortoiliac stenosis. To achieve this, all patients undergoing kidney transplantation in Erasmus Medical Center between January 2010 and December 2020 were enrolled, and propensity score matching was used to minimize confounding factors. Additionally, long-term graft function was investigated to evaluate the impact of stenosis on graft function.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
No-stenosis group Patients who had no pre-existing aortoiliac stenosis before kidney transplantation. |
|
TASC A/B stenosis Patients who had TASC A or B aortoiliac stenosis before kidney transplantation. |
|
TASC C/D stenosis Patients who had TASC C or D aortoiliac stenosis before kidney transplantation. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- patient survival [From the date of kidney transplantation till death or January 2023.]
All-cause death after kidney transplantation till the end of follow-up.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- death-censored graft survival [From the date of kidney transplantation till death or January 2023.]
Death-censored graft survival was defined as the time from transplant to graft failure, with censoring for death with a functioning graft.
- Graft function [From the date of kidney transplantation till death or January 2023.]
Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) equation.
