Vascular geometry and oxygen diffusion in the vicinity of artery-vein pairs in the kidney.
Renal arterial-to-venous (AV) oxygen shunting limits oxygen delivery to renal tissue. To better understand how oxygen in arterial blood can bypass renal tissue, we quantified the radial geometry of AV pairs and how it differs according to arterial diameter and anatomic location. We then estimated diffusion of oxygen in the vicinity of arteries of typical geometry using a computational model. Th...
متن کاملAnatomical Evaluation of Renal Arteries and Veins in Kidney Donors by CT Angiography
Abstract Background: Renal transplantation (RT) is the transplantation of a kidney into a patient with end-stage renal disease and has become the treatment of choice for most patients with end-stage renal disease. The knowledge of renal vascular variations is of a great importance for the surgeons who approach the kidneys from the retroperitoneal o...
متن کاملUSING THE INFERIOR MESENTERIC ARTERY FOR THE THIRD RENAL RE-TRANSPLANTATION: A CASE REPORT
A 32 year old man underwent renal transplantation for the third time. This procedure was performed in December 1994, using the kidney of a living unrelated donor. The first transplanted kidney remained in the body after rejection but the second one was removed due to trauma. End-to-end anastomosis of the renal artery to the inferior mesenteric artery was performed and the ureter was reimpl...
متن کاملLetter to the editor: "The plausibility of arterial-to-venous oxygen shunting in the kidney: it all depends on radial geometry".
TO THE EDITOR: we read with great interest the recent paper by Olgac and Kurtcuoglu (5) entitled “Renal oxygenation: preglomerular vasculature is an unlikely contributor to renal oxygen shunting.” We commend the authors on their careful approach to the problem of oxygen transport in the renal cortex. The authors’ model simulations support an important contribution of oxygen delivery to tissue f...
متن کاملVASCULAR COMPLICATIONS IN 417 CONSECUTIV E RENAL TRANSPLANTS
The vascular complications, their management and results of treatment in 417 consecutive renal transplantations performed at Taleghani Hospital from September 1989 to December 1997, are presented. There were 7 (1.6%) vascular complications. Among them renal artery stenosis occurred in 2 cases (0.4%), renal artery thrombosis in 2 cases (0.4%), renal vein thrombosis in one case (0.2%), bleed...
