3-D Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the abdomen of a patient,showing stenosis (narrowing,centre right) in one of the two iliac arteries which lead into the legs from the abdominal aorta (at top). The width of the affected artery is severely narrowed leading to reduced blood flow. The patient has also had a kidney transplant. Both of their kidneys have been removed,and a tranplanted one grafted onto the iliac artery at left. Stenosis may be caused by fatty deposits accumulating on the inner wall of the artery (atherosclerosis). This may lead to thrombosis (formation of blood clots) | |
