Most of it enters the hilum (64%) by passing below the main renal artery behind the renal pelvis.Conclusion: The anatomy of the accessory renal artery is very important to the surgeons to prevent complications during renal transplantation and other renovascular procedures.</Abstract> <AbstractLanguage>English</AbstractLanguage> <Keywords>Renal Artery, Accessory Renal Artery (ARA), CTAngiography, Renal transplantation.</Keywords> <URLs> <Abstract>https://njbms.in/ubijournal-v1copy/journals/abstract.php?article_id=2614&title=Study of Accessory Renal Artery in Cadavers and Computed Tomography Angiography</Abstract> </URLs> <References> <ReferencesarticleTitle>References</ReferencesarticleTitle> <ReferencesfirstPage>16</ReferencesfirstPage> <ReferenceslastPage>19</ReferenceslastPage> <References/> </References> </Journal> </Article> </ArticleSet>
