[Transplantation of kidney with multiple arteries].
One hundred and nine kidney transplantations have been performed. All the patients have been divided into 2 groups: 1st group consisted of 91 patients whose transplant had 1 artery, 2nd group -- 18 patients whose transplant had 2 to 5 arteries. In 2.5 years after transplantation the function of transplant and degree of arterial hypertension were identical in both groups. It is concluded that the short- and long-term results of transplantation of kidneys with multiple arteries don't differ from ones with single artery.
