Figure 3 Separate reconstructed kidney grafts after splitting. The right kidney arterial supply was reconstructed to produce 2 separate patches: the upper with 2 arteries and the lower with 1 artery. The upper patch, in addition, was reconstructed from 2 single patches, due to the long distance between the arteries in the donor’s aorta. The right renal vein was extended with the donor vena cava inferior patch. In the left kidney, the 2 patches were sutured together with the additional barrel anastomosis. The left vein was single and did not require reconstruction.
