fThe renal arteriographies in 205 living renal transplant donors (male 118, female 87) were reviewed retrospectively to evaluate the anatomical variations of the renal arterial system in Ksorean adults.
The mean length of the right renal arteries in male and ffemale was longer than that of left renal arteries (p<0.05). Tkhe mean diameter of the renal arteries I n male (8.14±0.94cm) was longer thanf that of female (7.29±0.93 cm) (p<0.05). But
the
mean
ratio of the diameter of the renal artery to aorta betwene male and female was not significantly different (kmale 42.1±5.8%, female 41.2±6.2%).
Polar arteries originating from the aorta were identified in 54 cases (26.3%; male 31.3%, female 19.5%). Tkhe frequency of the polar arteries on the left kidney was higher than that of the right kidney (19.5% vs 10.7%, p<0.05) and 8 cases (3.9%)
had
bilateral polar artieries. The supplementary arteries which arises in the prosximal portion of main renal artery were identified in 58 casesd (28.3%). Tkhe frequency of the supplementary arteries on the right kidney (40 cases, 19.5%) was higher
than
that of the left kidney (26 cases, 12.7%) (p<0.05) and 8 cases (3.9%) had hilateral supplementary arteries. The distribution area of polar artery (29.1±13.8%) was larger than that of supplementary arteries (17.0±11.1%) (p<0.05).
In conclusion, anatomical variations of the renal arterial system in Korean adults were similar to those of western and these data will be helpful to understand renal arterial systern in Korean adults.
