Objectives: To observe and report the variations of renal artery in human cadavers. To compare the previous studies with the present study to report the incidence of the important type of variation. Methods: The study was performed on 60 cadaveric kidneys. The posterior abdominal wall was dissected in 30 embalmed cadavers to study the paired kidneys based on the method given in Cunningham’s man...

Background: Numerical study of angulation effects of renal arteries on blood flow has been of great interest for many researchers.Objective: This paper aims at numerically determining the angulation effects of stenosed renal arteries on blood flow velocity and renal mass flow.Method: An anatomically realistic model of abdominal aorta and renal arteries is reconstructed from CT-scan images and u...

The existence of concomitant intra-abdominal pathology with abdominal aortic aneurysms is not uncommon. The optimal management is often controversial. We describe the successful treatment of a case of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) associated with a renal tumour without performing a nephrectomy. An accessory lower pole renal artery supplying the tumour was ligated at the time of open AAA r...

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...
