Overview

Case report observes dual renal artery variations in a kidney donor, indicating a need for detailed vascular mapping.

Key Points

  • This report aims to highlight rare renal artery variations that can impact surgical outcomes in kidney donation.
  • Documented a case of a 27-year-old male kidney donor
  • Conducted MDCT renal angiography using a 32-slice CT scanner
  • Administered iohexol contrast for enhanced vascular imaging
  • Scanned from the descending aorta to the iliac bifurcation using bolus tracking.
  • Identified complex renal vascular anatomy with multiple accessory arteries
  • Right kidney supplied by a main artery and two accessory arteries
  • Left kidney had one main renal artery with one accessory branch
  • Emphasized the importance of detailed imaging for identifying anomalies that complicate surgery.
