Background: Multiple renal arteries in kidney grafts have been associated with an increased rate of vascular and urologic complications. Our objective is to compare the outcome of transplanted patients who receive a single pedicle kidney with those who receive a multiple arterial graft. Objectives: To find our the differences in the outcome and complications in patients undergoing kidney transplantation with one single artery or with multiple arteries. Results: No significant differences were found between the two groups regarding to the values analyzed. Conclusions: As many other authors, we do believe that the presence of multiple renal arteries in kidney grafts should not be considered as a predictive factor of transplantation failure.
