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) [1]. Each renal artery divides into anterior and posterior divisions at or very close to the hilum of the kidney. Further it divides into segmental arteries to supply the respective segments of the kidney being themselves the end arte...

Right hepatic artery (RHA) is a branch of the common artery; however, there are cases documented in literature showing anatomical variations. Accessory RHA an incidental finding during hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. This should be identified, carefully separated, preserved these surgeries. We encounter variation while doing Whipple’s procedure 61-year-old patient diagnosed with carcinoma...

Introduction The abdominal aorta begins at 12th thoracic vertebra, and it descends anterior to the lumbar vertebrae, and bifurcates at the 4th lumbal vertebral body. It supplies all the abdominal organs, abdominal walls, gonads, and lower extremity [1]. In the usual vasculature, celiac trunk is divided into three branches: common hepatic artery (CHA), splenic artery (SA), and left gastric arter...

Ectopic kidneys are rare and usually present incidental findings during invasive or non-invasive angiography. Their parenchyma is not more susceptible to disease and symptoms occur mainly due to alteration of the anatomic relations. The main renal artery of the ectopic kidney derives invariably from the aorta; however, accessory renal arteries may originate from almost any arterial branch adjac...

PURPOSE To determine angiographically the origins and variations of renal arteries. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 855 consecutive patients (163 females, 692 males; mean age, 61 years) living in the Cukurova region of Turkey, who underwent either aortofemoropopliteal (AFP) angiography for the investigation of peripheral arterial disease, or renal angiography for renovascular hyperte...

the purpose of this study was to gain more information on the structure of different layers of renal arteryand comparing these structures in post-natal male and female sheep. to do so, right and left renal arteries of6 adult and 6 newborn animals were dissected; the middle parts of arteries were only collected. after tissueprocessing using paraffin embedding method, 5–6-μm sections were cut and...

Background Long-term outcomes of accessory renal artery (ARA) coverage after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) are unknown. We analyzed the impact ARA on function long-term. Methods This retrospective, monocentric study included patients treated by EVAR between 2008 and 2016. Patients with at least one covered (ARA group) were compared no (control group). Renal was determined estimating glome...
