title: A new distinctive variation of renal arterial vascularization.
abstract: In addition to the usual renal arteries, a bilateral artery branching from the aorta was found connecting the aorta to both kidneys in an 82 year-old Caucasian man. By creating an additional blood supply to the kidneys this artery may have had an effect on renal perfusion.
