OBJECTIVE: We performed this study to assess the safety and efficacy of outpatient angiographic renal donor examination using a 3-French pigtail catheter, intraarterial digital subtraction angiography, and a progressively shortened examination time after the procedure. CONCLUSION: For 45 consecutive procedures performed, no complications were reported, and no diagnostic discrepancies were found in patients who proceeded to surgery. Using this method we were also able to eliminate the excretory urogram as well as reduce the total amount of contrast per procedure.
