OBJECTIVE Accessory renal arteries are frequently encountered when patients are evaluated for endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR). Some have considered their presence a contraindication to EVAR in fear of endoleak and the end result of renal function. We sought to determine whether the coverage of accessory renal arteries during EVAR was associated with any adverse sequelae. ...

INTRODUCTION Traumatic renal artery thrombosis (RAT) is an uncommon disease especially secondary to blunt trauma. There are some reports about RAT but reports of RAT involving accessory renal arteries are rare. Therapy of RAT is often surgical management such as nephrectomy, arterial revascularization or conservative management. We report a 15-year-old girl with RAT and accessory renal artery s...

The renal arteries are a pair of lateral branches arising from the abdominal aorta below the level of superior mesenteric artery at the upper lumbar level (L1-L3). The paired renal arteries take about 20% of the cardiac output to supply organs that represent less than one-hundredth of total body weight [1]. The right renal artery is longer in its course owing to the location of the abdominal ao...

The most frequent anatomical variations of the renal arterial system are accessory arteries (supernumerary arteries) and aberrant arteries, which occur in varying numbers among various ethnic racial groups. Prior to surgery, understanding these is crucial because it affects decision use donor kidneys, planning partial nephrectomy, other urological procedures. Along with main artery on same side...

Dissection of an adult male cadaver revealed the presence of an accessory left testicular artery in addition to the normal right and left testicular arteries. In this case the accessory left testicular artery originated from the ventrolateral wall of the descending aorta. The origin was located between the superior mesenteric artery and the left renal vein. The accessory artery continued to cou...

branches of the abdominal aorta. A single renal artery supplies each kidney in most individuals. The renal arteries typically arise just below the origin site of the superior mesenteric artery and they travel laterally behind the renal veins (1, 2). Among the various types of renal artery anomalies, the most clinically important variation is the accessory renal artery. Accessory renal arteries ...

UNLABELLED Ultrasound-guided percutaneous renal biopsy is an important technique for diagnosis of glomerular diseases, and the biopsy-induced life-threatening bleeding rarely happens. Primary systemic amyloidosis is a rare disease which may lead to organ dysfunction including arterial stiffness. The accessory renal artery is a kind of renal vascular variation which goes into the renal parenchym...

Parallel endografts such as "chimney" and "periscope" are being increasingly used to maintain blood flow to visceral and supra-aortic branches in patients with different aortic disorders. We present a new technique, "iliorenal periscope graft", in a patient with abdominal aortic aneurysm undergoing endovascular aortic repair. In this case, left accessory renal artery flows were provided by an i...

Introduction Renal arteries are a pair of lateral branches of the abdominal aorta, arising at the level of L1 & L2 vertebra, just below the origin of the superior mesenteric artery. Renal arteries course anterior to the renal pelvis before entering the hilum. Right renal artery is longer and passes posterior to the inferior vena cava, whereas the left renal artery passes behind the left renal v...
