Transplant renal artery stenosis is a relatively frequent vascular complication after transplantation. However, extra-renal pseudo-aneurysms (EPSAs) are rare after transplantation; they can be life-threatening and usually need open surgical repair. We discuss the diagnosis and spontaneous healing of an asymptomatic renal allograft EPSA caused by renal artery anastomotic stenosis, which was diagnosed in a timely manner and managed by conservative treatments.
