BACKGROUND Renal allograft transplantation with multiple arteries (MRA) was always avoided as much as possible as it is technically demanding and carries a higher MSK for complications. This was a single-center study to explore the graft outcomes of kidney transplantation with MRA. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 35 patients who received kidney grafts with MRA for the surgical technique, surgical complications, graft function, and graft survival. The results were compared with those achieved in recipients of kidney grafts with a single renal artery (SRA). RESULTS Of 35 grafts, there were 2 renal arteries in 30 grafts, and 3 renal arteries in 5 grafts. In the MRA group, there were 7 instances of surgical complications, the mean serum creatinine levels were 122, 139, and 156 micromol/L at 1 month, 1 year, and 5 years, respectively, and the actuarial graft survival rates were 94.3%, 88.6%, and 83% at 1, 5, and 10 years, respectively. In the SRA group, there were 56 instances of surgical complications, the mean serum creatinine levels were 115, 121, and 141 micromol/L at 1 month, 1 year, and 5 years, respectively, and the actuarial graft survival rates were 93.7%, 88.1%, and 84.4% at 1, 5, and 10 years, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Although transplantation of MRA grafts might carry a relatively higher risk for complications, it is justified because it gives results comparable with those achieved in SRA.
