Abstract
Objectives: Evaluating the anatomy variation of renal artery system of living-related donors with 64-slice renal Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA). Subjects and methods: From 01/2009 to 12/2013, when carrying out a prospective study at Cardiovascular Centre of Hue Central hospital, we have performed 64-slice renal CTA on 160 living-related donors among which, there are 118 males and 42 females aged from 19 to 56. Results: The majority of donors have simple anatomy variation of renal artery with one hilar artery (71.87% in right kidney and 65.62% in left kidney). The rest has complex variation with two hilar arteries and accompagnied with upper or lower polar branch (28.13% in right kidney and 34.38% in left kidney). The minimum diameter of the renal artery is 1.3mm. The nearest distance of proximal branching from the hilar artery is 1.6mm. The furthest distance of two arteries is 65mm. Conclusions: 64-slice renal CTA contributes into more accurate diagnosis of anatomy variation of renal artery system of living-related donors, helps surgeons make appropriate planning in the operation of chosen kidneys of living-related donors and transplanting into patients. Key words: anatomy variation, renal artery system, CTA
