Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the outcomes of kidney transplant patients, comparing those receiving grafts with a single renal artery to those with multiple arteries.
  • The analysis involved 147 transplantations over three years, looking at complications, renal failure rates, patient and graft survival, and creatinine clearance.
  • Results showed no significant differences in outcomes between the two groups, suggesting multiple renal arteries do not predict transplantation failure.
