Accessory Renal Artery

• More than one artery supplying a kidney is the most common arterial variation, and this is seen in about 24% of cases.

• These arteries are divided into two groups: hilar (accessory) and polar (aberrant) arteries.

• Image - Accessory renal artery and early branching in 50-year-old female voluntary kidney donor.

• • Anterior volume rendered image shows early branching of main left renal artery (black arrowhead) and presence of accessory renal artery arising from aorta (black arrow).

• • Right inferior phrenic artery is seen arising from right main renal artery (white arrow).
