ABSTRACT
Background: the kidney arterial irrigation, as it is classically described, occurs
from the renal artery and its two terminal branches exclusively. The aim of this
research was to determine the presence and distribution of the polar arteries.
Method: a quantitative, longitudinal, prospective, observational and descriptive
study was carried out on 37 tissue samples from dead bodies without aortic renal
surgeries or congenital demonstrable reno-ureteral malformations at “Celia Sánchez
Manduley” Teaching Provincial Clinical-Surgical Hospital of Manzanillo, Granma. The
samples were washed, fixed and dissected through the direct macroscopic method.
Outcomes: The polar arteries were more frequent in the male sex and on the right
side, being found in 16 cases (43.24%), 9 of which presented, at least, a superior
polar artery; 3 presented at least an inferior polar artery; and 4 cases presented at
least one of each type of polar artery. The origin of both polar arteries as a direct
branch of the aorta was predominant.
Conclusions: The polar arteries are not anatomical variants of rare presence, and
our knowledge of them is of vital importance in planning the removing and
reconstructive nephro-urologic surgery.
