Prognosis is uniformly poor with graft loss in nearly every case. We report here the first three cases of renal graft vein thrombosis successfully treated by percutaneous endoluminal thromboaspiration. After an initially uneventful course all recipients developed anuria and required hemodialysis. In two cases, an ultrasound examination suggested a diagnosis of venous thrombosis. Emergency arteriography and phlebography were performed, confirming the complete thrombosis of the graft veins. Throm boaspiration was carried out with full heparinization and led to renal function improvement in all cases. Grafts are still functioning 6 months after the procedure, with serum creatinine levels of 176 μmol/l, 120 μmol/l and 184 μmol/l, respectively. Thus, this procedure avoids surgical and anaesthetic risks and allows, if performed at an early stage, restoration of graft function. Great care must be taken to avoid vcin wall damage, vascular suture line rupture, or pulmonary embolism.
