Abstract
One of the most serious complications following kidney transplantation is graft thrombosis. This can be associated with extra morbidity for the patient as well as the need for dialysis. We present a case of the late exploration in a poorly perfused kidney following living donor kidney transplantation, which was saved by explantation, reperfusion on the back table and re-transplantation.
