Abstract
A total of 71 potential living kidney donors was evaluated on an outpatient basis with either a modification of standard catheter angiography (30 patients) or intra-arterial digital substraction angiography (41 patients). Both procedures provided accurate assessment of the main renal vasculature as proved at the time of donor nephrectomy. Neither technique was associated with any significant morbidity. We conclude that complete angiographic evaluation of potential kidney donors can be performed accurately and safely on an outpatient basis.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
