Multi-detector CT Imaging of Double Left Renal Veins
نویسنده
چکیده
Advance awareness of the renal vascular anatomy, including variants of the left renal vein, is important for abdominal and renal surgery. The migratory nature ofrenal embryology and significant transformation of precursors of the inferior vena cava and renal veins can make the final configuration of these structures complex. Two uncommon instances of dual left renal vein with orthotopic left common iliac vein and ectopic caval drainage are presented with multi-detector CT imaging.

Background: In kidney transplantation decision about the proper kidney donation is different between surgeons, but simple vasculature anatomy and a kidney without abnormalities are the most important reasons of choosing a kidney. Therefore complete assessment of renal vessels of a live donor with noninvasive techniques is a necessity for nephrectomy. For delineation of the kidney vasculature...

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 کاملMulti-detector row CT of the left atrium and pulmonary veins before radio-frequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Radio-frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of the distal pulmonary veins and posterior left atrium is increasingly being used to treat recurrent or refractory atrial fibrillation that resists pharmacologic therapy or cardioversion. Successful RFCA of atrial fibrillation requires resolution of abnormal rhythms while minimizing complications and can be achieved with precise, preprocedural, three-di...
متن کاملMulti-detector row computed tomography findings of pelvic congestion syndrome caused by dilated ovarian veins.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of multi-detector row CT (MDCT) on pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS), which is often overlooked or poorly visualized with routine imaging examination. MATERIALS AND METHODS We evaluated the MDCT features of 40 patients with PCS (mean age, 45 years; range, 29-60 years) using axial, coronal, sagittal, 3D volume-rendered, and Maximum Intensity Projection MIP ima...
متن کاملCase Report: Circumaortic Left Renal Vein
Awareness of the variation and renal vascular abnormality at retroperitoneal space surgeries such as kidney surgery and transplantation is very important and necessary. Complexity in the veins development of the kidney area of fetus leads to a series of changes in the production of these veins, including the extra kidney vein, and the posterior aorta vein. In this case report, we present a case...
