Abstract
The development of multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) technology and helical scanning techniques has radically transformed the role of CT in vascular disease. Modern CT scanners have made CT angiography (CTA) into a clinical reality for diagnostic vascular evaluation.
Preoperative evaluation of the vascular anatomy of the donor kidney is the main basis for donor kidney selection and in identifying any vascular variant .
CT angiography (CTA) is one of the well-established minimally invasive diagnostic procedures for the assessment of suspected renovascular hypertension
Computed tomography angiography is valuable in the detection and characterization of arterio-venous malformation (AVM) ,arterio-venous fistula ( AVF ) and renal artery abnormalities. These lesions represent an important group of entities for diagnostic consideration, and understanding the vascular anatomy helps in guiding for proper treatment .It is important before any attempt to perform any percutaneous or surgical intervention
This work aimed to assess the diagnostic performance and accuracy of multi-detector computed tomography angiography in evaluation of different renal vascular abnormalities ..
During thе pеriоd of 24 months (from May 2019 to May 2021). , а prоspеctivе study including 95 pateints (60 mеn аnd 35 wоmеn) wеrе еvаluаtеd with MDCT аngiоgrаphy аt mansora renal & nephrology center , mеаn of аgе аt timе оf еvаluаtiоn wаs 45 yеаrs (rаngе 20 tо 75 yеаrs).
The pateints are divided into four groups :
First group are kidney donors prepared for renal transplant as a control group ( 50 individual ) for detection of vascular variants .
Second group are pateints with history of suspected renal trauma and post percutaneous nephrolithetomy ( PCNL ) hematuria ( 30 pateints) searching for for vascular insult as psuedoaneurysm .
Third group are pateints suspected for renovascular hypertension searching for presence of renal artery stenosis ( 10 pateints ).
Fourth group are patients with large sized renal tumours to distinguish feeding vessels prior surgical removal and preoperative angio-embolization if indicated (5 pateints)
Аll candidates wеrе subjеctеd tо the following:
1. Full Clinicаl еxаminаtiоn in the form of full history taking and related diseases according to the condition .
2. Lаbоrаtоry invеstigаtiоns including cоаgulаtiоn prоfilе, rеnаl functiоns (sеrum crеаtitninе аnd blооd urеа.
3. Renal ultrasound for patient with renal tumours to interpret size of tumour
4. Renal artery Doppler for pateints suspected with renovascular hypertension
5. Rеnаl CTА.
Our result showed that:
Regarding distribution of vascular variants in control group, Regarding to arterial variants, there are Pre-hilar branching in 2(4%) patients, Accessory arteries in 4 (8%) and Multiple renal arteries in one (2%) patient while as regard to venous variants, there are Multiple renal veins in one (2%) patient, Circum-aortic renal vein in one (2%) patient and Retro-aortic renal vein in 3 (6%) patients.
In our study, as regard comparison between of MDCT Angiography and operative finding regarding vascular variants in control group, there was non-significant difference between MDCT Angiography and operative finding regarding arterial and venous variants.
In our study, as regarding comparison between Doppler and MDCT Angiography regarding renal artery stenosis in group C. There was significant difference between MDCT Angiography and Doppler regarding renal artery stenosis (p < 0.001).
There is no significant difference between MDCT angiography & conventional angiography results regards renal artery stenosis .
In our study, regarding diagnostic accuracy of MDCT Angiography. MDCT Angiography has AUC of 0.973 ,Sensitivity 93.3% and Specificity 90% for diagnosis of renal vascular abnormalties.
