Evaluation of accessory renal arteries on 64-slice spiral computed tomography
Objective To investigate accessory renal arteries (ARA) with 64-slice spiral computed tomography angiography (CTA) and discuss its capability in displaying ARA. Methods Renal artery CTA were performed in 135 patients. Then
all data were sent to workstation
and three dimensional reconstruction of CTA was performed. All images were recorded.The statistical software of SAS 9.1.3 was used to analyze the results. Results Seventy ARA were found in 56 patients (20.9%)
among which 67.1% (47/70) were on the left and 32.9% (23/70) on the right. 71.5% (50/70) of ARA originated form abdominal aorta and 28.5% (20/70) were of early branching. 45.7% (32/70) entered the upper kidney pole
and 35.7% (25/70) entered the lower kidney pole. Incidence of one and two ARA was 76.7% (43/56) and 21.4% (12/56); In addition
one had three ARA. Conclusion 64-slice spiral CTA can display ARA clearly.
