Anatomical Variation and Its Management in Transplantation

Urologic complications after transplantation of 225 en bloc kidneys from small pediatric donors ≤20 kg: Incidence, management, and impact on graft survival

“…11,12,27,28 As proposed by Rhanemai-Azar et al, 11 arteries that may in turn be supplying the ureteral artery) have to be routinely sacrificed; and (4) accessory inferior renal arteries that arise from the common iliac artery are often readily identified and preserved in adult organ donors-but much less likely so (owing to their small size) in en bloc kidney donors. 29,30 In addition, in multi-organ donors, the common and external iliac vessels that are very short to begin with are typically entirely recovered and shipped with other organs (eg, liver and intestine). successfully treated without an operation.…”

Renal vascularisation anomalies in the Polish population. Coexistence of arterial and venous anomalies in the vascular pedicle of the kidney

“…The mentioned anomalies result from the complicated development of the vasculorenal system, which was thoroughly described in our previous studies [27,28]. Generally speaking, an embryo 14-16 mm in length (6-8 weeks of development), is subjected to mesonephros ascend from the pelvis to the lumbar area with simultaneous atrophy of lower arteries and the development of novel abdominal aortic vessels [21,29]. At the same time, the venous system develops from three successive and degenerative, cardinal veins.…”

“…Variations in the structure of the renal vascular pedicle occur relatively frequently [11,29], which should be considered in surgical treatment of aortic aneurysms [2,26], during retroperitoneal procedures [3,12], in the treatment of renovascular hypertension [5], as well as during kidney transplantation [4,6,7,14,20].…”

A Case of Unusual Vascularization of Upper Abdominal Cavity’ Organs

“…Watson and Harper (2015) report that the hepatic artery can have variable origin (10 types based on Michels classification, 1955). There are often accessory left and right hepatic arteries (10-20% of cases) [ 8 ].…”
