Vascular reconstruction in monolateral dual kidney transplantation with multiple arteries. ?Clin Transplant 2011 DOI: 10.1111/j.1399-0012.2011.01537.x. (C) 2011 John Wiley & Sons A/S. Abstract: We report the results of monolateral dual kidney transplantation with grafts with multiple arteries. Among the 42 monolateral DKT performed in a seven-yr period, 12 (28.5%) patients received renal grafts with multiple arteries. In six patients, the accessory arteries were anastomosed end-to-side or side-to-side on the aortic patch. In six patients, with three or more accessory arteries, a vascular reconstruction with an inferior vena cava patch was performed, before implanting the kidney. There were no intraoperative complications in the entire series, and there were no immediate vascular complications. Vascular reconstruction of kidneys with multiple arteries may be performed safely even in monolateral dual kidney transplantation. Inferior vena cava may be an attractive alternative in vascular reconstruction for kidneys with multiple arteries.
