Double Precaval Right Renal Arteries - Its Clinical Implications
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Precaval renal artery is a rare but important variant of renal vascular anatomy and identifying this anomaly is important for planning of minimally invasive renal surgery. A sound knowledge of variations of blood vessels is important during operative diagnostic and endovascular procedures in the abdomen. This report describes the presence of double precaval right renal arteries with multiple left renal arteries from abdominal aorta in a 50 year old male cadaver. A good knowledge of vascular variations in relation to the kidneys is very important in kidney transplantation surgery. Anomalies determine the choice of kidney in renal allo-grafting and may disqualify a potential donor, even in the face of ostensibly normal renal function. Therefore this case report would serve as a ray of light for knowing the possible anatomical variations associated with the renal vasculature.
