Influence of Multiple Donor Renal Arteries on the Outcome and Graft Survival in Deceased Donor Kidney Transplantation.

ABSTRACT: Complex arterial reconstruction in kidney transplantation (KT) using kidneys from deceased donors (DD) warrants additional study since little is known about the effects on the mid- and long-term outcome and graft survival. A total of 451 patients receiving deceased donor KT in our department between 1993 and 2017 were included in our study. Patients were divided into three groups according to the number of arteries and anastomosis: (A) 1 renal artery, 1 arterial anastomosis (N = 369); (B) >1 renal artery, 1 arterial anastomosis (N = 47); and (C) >1 renal artery, >1 arterial anastomosis (N = 35). Furthermore, the influence of localization of the arterial anastomosis (common iliac artery (CIA), versus non-CIA) was analyzed. Clinicopathological characteristics, outcome, and graft and patient
