Introduction Multiple renal arteries are unilateral in approximately 30% of patients and bilateral in approximately 10% [1, 2]. Aberrant arteries usually arise from the aorta or iliac arteries anywhere from the level of T11 to the level of L4. In rare cases, they can arise from the lower thoracic aorta or from lumbar or mesenteric arteries [1]. Aberrant renal artery originating from aortic bifu...

A 43-year-old champion New Zealand athlete presented acutely with the onset of right flank pain. He gave a previous history of ‘exercise-induced’ arrhythmia and vertebral degeneration, which were attributed to a lifetime of sporting activity. Only the day before, he had competed in a gruelling triathlon race consisting of a 11.5 km swim, a 25 km cycle and a 10 km run in summer temperatures reac...

Right renal ectopia with malrotation was seen on a CT angiography in a 64-year-old male patient. Bilateral triple renal arteries were also revealed: one main (superior) renal artery and two accessory arteries (middle and inferior), all originating in the abdominal aorta. The renal arteries are disposed symmetrically. The main arteries and the accessory ones are of equal caliber. Simple renal ec...

Introduction: Normal vascular supply to each kidney is by a single artery and vein on side. This normal pattern not found in all cases. Arterial variations can be accessory renal arteries which hilar, upper polar or lower early branching. Venous late confluence, multiple veins left there retroaortic circumaortic course of the vein.
 Aims: To evaluate vasculature patients who undergo contra...

Fourteen accessory middle cerebral arteries demonstrated on angiography were reviewed relative to the pertinent literature. The anomalous vessel follows a fairly constant pattern in terms of origin, course, and distribution, and it frequently gives rise to basal perforating arteries. It is suggested that the vessel represents a persistent anastomosis between the anterior and middle cerebral art...

Introduction: We did this study because there were a few studies about aorto-branch junction. Methods: Four light microscope and electron microscope study, the abdominal aorta, renal artery, and the adjoining right and left renal arteries were dissected out from 4 neonate dogs. Results: Based on the results, there is only one cell type in the tunica intima of endothelium in both art...

Six patients with mitral stenosis complicated by renal artery embolism studied prospectively are presented. In five patients there was unilateral and in one patient bilateral renal artery involvement. The diagnosis was confirmed by intravenous pyelography, retrograde pyelography, renal angiography, renal scan or a combination of these. All had atrial fibrillation, proteinuria and elevated ...
