“…In left kidneys with a single artery the average length of the main artery was 3.68 ± 1.08 cm and in those with multiple arteries it was 3.28 ± 1.20 cm, with no difference between them (p = 0.10). We found just one case of early renal artery bifurcation, with division less than 1 cm from the aorta 6 . As for the trajectory of vessels in the kidneys with multiple arteries, there was difference only when comparing the extra-hilar arteries reaching the superior pole between left and right kidneys (p = 0.05) ( Table 2).…”

“…Multiple renal arteries occur in 20% to 50% of the population, its variation being more common than for other organs 6,8,22 . These vessels are branches of a single segmental renal artery or independent vessels emerged directly from the aorta 22 .…”

“…Changes in the origin of the renal arteries have been reported since Bartholin in the 17th century. However, the classical description of the renal vasculature, formed only by one artery and one vein, occurs in less than 25% of cases 5,6 . Thus, particularities in the kidney vascular pedicle cannot be considered exceptions.…”

OBJETIVO: Verificar a prevalência e a distribuição das artérias renais e de seus ramos in vivo, relacionando as particularidades encontradas nas artérias renais com o sexo e sua lateralidade. MÉTODO: Duzentos pedículos renais foram estudados por meio de angiotomografias e suas artérias analisadas de acordo com número, posição de origem, calibre, comprimento e trajeto em relação aos segmentos renais. Sua frequência e lateralidade foram pesquisadas quanto ao sexo e idade. RESULTADOS: Foram observadas múltiplas artérias em 61,5% dos pedículos (56% à direita e 67% à esquerda), ocorrendo em 65% dos homens e 58% das mulheres. A origem aórtica para as múltiplas artérias foi mais frequente à direita e, com maior frequência, as artérias renais se originaram entre as vértebras L1 e L2 como divisões pré-hilares da artéria principal. O comprimento médio da artéria principal foi maior em rins direitos com artéria única. Não houve diferença entre o diâmetro da artéria renal principal. CONCLUSÃO: Existe maior prevalência das múltiplas artérias renais do que aquela descrita na literatura, sem diferença entre os sexos ou lateralidade. As artérias renais originaram-se com maior frequência entre as vértebras L1 e L2, como divisões pré-hilares da artéria principal e com trajeto ao hilo do rim. O comprimento médio da artéria principal é maior à direita e nos rins com artéria única. Não houve diferença no diâmetro da artéria renal principal entre rins com artérias únicas e múltiplas.

Renal arteries: anatomic study for surgical and radiological practice

1992

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The renal arterial supply was analyzed in 266 kidneys dissected from 133 fixed adults subjects. The anatomical findings are presented: 1 hilar artery in 53.3% of the cases, 1 hilar artery with 1 superior pole extra-hilar branch in 14.3%, 2 hilar arteries in 7.9%, 3 hilar arteries in 1.9%, superior polar artery in 6.8%, inferior polar artery in 5.3% and other variations in 8.5%. The urological and radiological implications of these findings in kidney transplantation, renovascular hypertension, renal trauma, interventional radiology, conservative surgery and oncologic surgery are discussed.
