Laparoscopic procurement of single versus multiple artery kidney allografts: is long-term graft survival affected?

Background: Living donor kidneys with multiple arteries (MA) are increasingly procured laparoscopically for transplant.

Methods: We compare long-term graft function and survival of kidneys with single arteries (SA) and MA over a 10-year period.

Results: There were a total of 218 grafts with SA and 60 grafts with MA.
