Introduction Information regarding anatomical variations in the branching pattern of great vessels of the abdomen, including abdominal aorta, celiac trunk, mesenteric and renal arteries is imperative for planning surgical procedures and interpreting interventional radiological imaging. In fact, liver and kidney transplantations and oncologic resections require major vessels ligation. Background...

Aims: In this study, Doppler parameters were studied in patients with advanced stage renal disease, and the relationship between Doppler parameters and renal disease stage was investigated. Doppler values were evaluated for a cut-off value between normal and end-stage kidney disease group. Materials and methods: 50 patients with chronic kidney disease and 15 patients belonging to the same age g...

Presence ...

We developed a new method employing a balanced turbo field-echo (b-TFE) sequence with progressive spin saturation (PSS) for magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) of the renal arteries during breath-holding without the use of contrast agents. We compared our new method with conventional dynamic MRA of renal arteries. For all portions, renal MRA using b-TFE with PSS was clearer to define (p<0.002)...

Traditionally, anatomy textbooks describe each kidney to receive irrigation from a single renal artery. However, current literature reports great variability in renal blood supply, the number of renal arteries and the arrangement of hilar structures on the left side. Here a case is described where, on the right side, the renal artery had its origin from the abdominal aorta, as normally occurs, ...

Thromboembolic obstruction of major renal arteries is a rare but serious clinical problem. A diagnosis is not usually established until irreversible renal parenchymal damage occurs. Emboli to the major renal arteries are associated with cardiac diseases and arrhythmia, among which atrial fibrillation is a major cause. The clinical manifestations of renal artery thromboembolism vary substantiall...

In this prospective study we examined the value of magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) in the imaging of the proximal renal arteries, with the main aim of detecting renal arterial stenosis, as compared with intraarterial digital subtraction angiography. The study was done among a group of 38 hypertensive patients seen in the outpatient department of the department of medicine of our university...

In stenosis of a segmental branch or among multiple renal arteries, Doppler sampling of intrarenal arteries in the upper, mid and lower poles demonstrates strikingly different waveform patterns that might otherwise be overlooked. We report a case of segmental branch renal artery stenosis in which a pulsus parvus et tardus waveform was observed in a segmental branch of a renal artery. In this ca...

The paper presents a case of a 65 year old white male with atherosclerosis, severe left triple renal arteries stenoses and secondary renovascular hypertension (RVH). The patient was treated in a single session by percutaneous balloon angioplasty and stenting of the three left renal arteries with important atherosclerotic lesions. The uneventful evolution permitted patient’s discharge next day a...
