Variations in the Branching Pattern of Renal Arteries and its Clinical Significance
Journal Title: Scholars International Journal of Anatomy and Physiology - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
A single renal artery to each kidney is present approximately 70% of individuals. The arteries vary in their level of origin and in their calibre, obliquity and in their precise relations. Near the renal hilum, each artery divides into anterior and posterior divisions and these divide into segmental arteries supplying the renal vascular segments. The materials were 35 formalin fixed cadavers irrespective of the sex which were used for the routine dissection of the undergraduate students in the Department of Anatomy. Single renal artery was observed in 71.42% originating from abdominal aorta. Accessory renal arteries were seen in 27.14% originating from abdominal aorta. Extrahilar branches arising from renal arteries were observed in 27.15% 0f the specimens studied. The knowledge of the possible variations of renal arteries is necessary during renal transplantation surgeries, urological procedures and angiography of the renal arteries.
