Description
Koosha kamali and co-authors report a 2026 case of repeat vein clots in a transplant kidney caused by a squeezed pelvis vein. A 62 year old man got a left side kidney transplant and then clotted again and again in leg and graft veins. Two urgent clot removals saved the graft each time, yet no surgical cause could be found for the returns.
Deeper checks found May-Thurner syndrome, where a pelvis artery presses the main leg vein against the spine and chokes its flow. A stent was placed in the squeezed vein and long term blood thinning was set. Hidden vein squeezes should be hunted when graft clots return without a clear cause, the team urges.
