Embolization therapy for a renal transplant AVF and the post-embolization DMSA image. (a) A selective renal transplant angiogram shows an AVF supplied by a lobular artery in the lower pole of the allograft. (b) Detachable platinum coils are placed in the renal artery branch feeding the AVF. (c) After angiographic embolization, the AVF is not detected because it is completely embolized. (d) DMSA scintigraphy shows a defect in the lower-third of the allograft
