Abstract:Purpose
Accurate surgical reconstruction of arterial vascular supply is a crucial part of living kidney transplantation (LDKT). The presence of multiple renal arteries (MRA) in grafts can be challenging. In the present study, we investigated the impact of ligation versus anastomosis of small accessory graft arteries on the perioperative outcome.
Methods
Clinical and radiological outcomes of 51 patients with MRA out of a total of 308 patients who un… Show more
