Main arterial supply of a kidney from the opposite renal artery: an unusual case.
Variations in renal anatomy and blood supply are not uncommon, but a supplementary renal artery arising from the opposite renal artery is rare. In such cases the kidneys are usually malrotated and anomalous in position and form. The case of a 65-year-old man with the left main renal artery arising from the opposite renal artery and without such anomalies of the kidneys is presented.
