Abstract
We present a case of a multiple renal artery reconstruction during simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation. The kidney graft had 6 renal arteries, the aorta patch was 10 cm long, and there were two renal veins. To perform anastomoses to the left external iliac vessels we had to reconstruct the renal arterial and venal patches. The results of the transplantation were very good. Both grafts had satisfactory function, even though a control computed tomography performed a year after transplantation revealed infarction of a lower renal pole. Anatomical anomalies should not be a contraindication for transplantation, although transplants involving a multiplicity of vessels is a challenge for surgeons and requires both knowledge and microsurgical skills.
