Abstract
BACKGROUND This case-control study aimed to determine whether there were differences between patients with essential hypertension with accessory renal arteries (ARAs) and those without ARAs. METHODS AND RESULTS The enrolled patients with essential hypertension were divided into the ARA group (n=200) and control group without ARAs (n=238). After propensity matching, 394 patients (197 in each of the 2 groups), were included. The 24-hour BP (4.33/2.43 mm Hg) and daytime BP (4.48/2.61 mm Hg) of patients in the ARA group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). The flow-mediated dilation was lower in the ARA group (5.98±2.70 versus 5.18±2.66; P<0.05). In correlation analysis, the horizontal plasma aldosterone concentration had the highest correlation with 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime systolic BP (r=0.263, 0.247, and 0.243, respectively; P<0.05) and diastolic BP (r=0.325, 0.298, and 0.317, respectively; P<0.05). As for multivariate regression analysis, plasma aldosterone concentration was a significant risk factor for elevated 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime systolic BP (β=0.249 [95% CI, 0.150-0.349], 0.228 [95% CI, 0.128-0.329], and 0.282 [95% CI, 0.187-0.377], respectively; P<0.05) and elevated diastolic BP (β=0.289 [95% CI, 0.192-0.385], 0.256 [95% CI, 0.158-0.353], and 0.335 [95% CI, 0.243-0.427], respectively; P<0.05). Direct renin concentration was also a risk factor for 24-hour and daytime BPs, whereas heart rate was a risk factor correlated with 24-hour, daytime, and nighttime diastolic BP (all P<0.05). For the mixed-effects model for repeated measures, the results were similar to results of the multivariate regression analysis (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS ARAs could contribute a higher BP of patients with essential hypertension and might promote the development of essential hypertension. The mechanism might be related to overactivation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and sympathetic nervous system.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary hypertension is a relatively rare condition most commonly caused by renovascular disease due to atherosclerotic vascular disease or fibromuscular dysplasia. Although accessory renal arteries are frequent, to date, only six cases of secondary hypertension determined by their existence have been reported.
CASE SUMMARY We describe a case of a 39-year-old female who came to the emergency department with an urgent hypertensive crisis and hypertensive encephalopathy. Despite normal renal arteries, the computed tomography angiography revealed an inferior polar artery with 50% stenosis of its diameter. Conservative treatment with amlodipine, indapamide and perindopril was adopted, leading to blood pressure control within one month.
CONCLUSION To the best of our knowledge, there are controversies regarding accessory renal arteries as a potential etiology for secondary hypertension, but the seven similar cases already described, along with the current case, could reinforce the necessity of more studies concerning this subject.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resistant hypertension (RHT) is a major health care concern affecting 20 to 30% of hypertensive patients and increasing cardiovascular risk. Recent renal denervation trials have suggested a high prevalence of accessory renal arteries (ARA) in RHT. Our objective was to compare the prevalence of ARA in RHT vs. non-resistant hypertension (NRHT). METHODS Eighty-six patients with essential hypertension who benefited from an abdominal CT-scan or MRI during their initial workup were retrospectively recruited in 6 French ESH (European Society of Hypertension) centers. At the end of a follow-up period of at least 6 months, patients were classified between RHT or NRHT. RHT was defined as uncontrolled blood pressure despite the optimal doses of three antihypertensive agents of which one is a diuretic or similar, or controlled by ≥ 4 medications. Blinded independent central review of all radiologic renal artery charts was performed. RESULTS Baseline characteristics were: age 50±15 years, 62% males, BP 145±22/87±13mmHg. Fifty-three (62%) patients had RHT and 25 (29%) had at least one ARA. Prevalence of ARA was comparable between RHT (25%) and NRHT patients (33%, P=0.62), but there were more ARA per patient in NRHT (2±0.9) vs. RHT (1.3±0.5, P=0.05), and renin levels were higher in ARA group (51.6±41.7 mUI/L vs. 20.4±25.4 mUI/L, P=0.001). ARA were similar in diameter or length between the 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS In this retrospective series of 86 essential hypertension patients, we found no difference in the prevalence of ARA in RHT and NRHT. More comprehensive studies are needed to answer this question.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To determine the effect of age and gender on diameters and lengths of the renal arteries. Methods: This is a retrospective study. A total of 50 asymptomatic volunteers were selected randomly and scanned by multi-detector CT to assess the diameters and lengths of the renal arteries. The study conducted at King Abdulaziz Specialized Hospital (KAASH) and King Faisal Hospitals, Taif, Saudi Arabia between October 2017 and March 2018. The lengths and diameters of the main arteries were measured and compared to age and gender of the participants. Results: The mean length of right renal artery was significantly longer than the left one (4.47±.70 versus 3.714±.68 cm, p less than 0.001). Length of right and left renal arteries were significantly higher in males than females (p=0.02 and p=0.03). Diameters of both left and right renal arteries were higher in males than females (5.482±1.37 versus 5.288±1.09 cm, and 5.544±1.14 versus 5.188±1.05 cm). The diameters of renal arteries varied significantly with age, specifically in elders (p=0.001). CONCLUSION The mean length and mean diameter were significantly different between females and males, and between left and right main renal arteries. Age and gender have a significant impact on the length and diameters of main renal arteries.

Abstract
Background Hypokalemia in the presence of hypertension is often attributed to primary hyperaldosteronism as a cause of secondary hypertension, however secondary hyperaldosteronism may present similarly. Accessory renal arteries are variants in the vascular anatomy which are often thought to be innocuous but in some circumstances can cause renovascular hypertension leading to secondary hyperaldosteronism. Case presentation We report 2 cases of hypertension with secondary hyperaldosteronism associated with accessory renal arteries. Both patients presented with hypokalemia and further investigations revealed hyperaldosteronism with unsuppressed renin levels. Imaging studies showed the presence of accessory renal artery. Conclusion Accessory renal arteries are a potential cause renovascular hypertension which can be detected via CT angiography or magnetic resonance angiography. Hormonal evaluation should be undertaken to determine whether its presence contributes to hypertension in the patient as targeted treatment such as aldosterone antagonist can be initiated. Surgical intervention or renal denervation may be considered in resistant cases.

Abstract
A 33-year-old man was admitted to our hospital to undergo an evaluation to determine the cause of secondary hypertension. Computerized tomography angiography (CTA) showed bilateral multiple renal arteries with significant stenosis of the right extra-renal artery due to fibromuscular dysplasia and segmental impairment of renal perfusion. Although the plasma aldosterone concentration and plasma renin activity were within the normal ranges, percutaneous balloon dilatation of the stenotic lesion resolved his hypertension, leading to a diagnosis of renovascular hypertension caused by segmental renal ischemia due to extra-renal artery stenosis. CTA should be considered during the examination of patients with early-age hypertension, even if the plasma renin activity is not sufficiently elevated.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate extremely rare cases of supradiaphragmatic origin of the renal artery, with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings. METHODS The study included 9 patients diagnosed with supra-diaphragmatic originating renal artery between 2010 and 2017. The patients were 7 females and 2 males with a mean age of 58.25 years (range, 41-71 years). MR imaging was applied to all patients. RESULTS In 2 patients, lumen loss was of a moderate degree, and mild in 3 patients. Renal artery stenosis was not observed in the remaining 4 patients. None of the patients had advanced luminal stenosis. The distance of the renal arteries to the diaphragmatic crus was 24 mm at the longest and 8 mm at the shortest. Congenital anomaly was found in 6 patients. Of the 9 patients, 7 had concomitant hypertension, and 2 had no history of hypertension. CONCLUSIONS The anomaly of supradiaphragmatic origin of the renal artery is rare but may be associated with renal artery stenosis, which may then result in hypertension. The clinician should investigate renal artery origin anomalies and renal artery compression syndrome in hypertensive cases where the cause cannot be explained.

Accessory renal arteries: Prevalence in resistant hypertension and an important role in nonresponse to radiofrequency renal denervation. CARDIOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION MEDICINE 2016; 17:470-473.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to understand the role of accessory renal arteries in resistant hypertension, and to establish their role in nonresponse to radiofrequency renal denervation (RDN) procedures. BACKGROUND Prior studies suggest a role for accessory renal arteries in hypertensive syndromes, and recent clinical trials of renal denervation report that these anomalies are highly prevalent in resistant hypertension. This study evaluated the relationships among resistant hypertension, accessory renal arteries, and the response to radiofrequency (RF) renal denervation. METHODS Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans from 58 patients with resistant hypertension undergoing RF renal denervation (RDN) were evaluated. Results were compared with CT scans in 57 healthy, normotensive subjects undergoing screening as possible renal transplant donors. All scans were carefully studied for accessory renal arteries, and were correlated with long term blood pressure reduction. RESULTS Accessory renal arteries were markedly more prevalent in the hypertensive patients than normotensive renal donors (59% vs 32% respectively, p=0.004). RDN had an overall nonresponse rate of 29% (response rate 71%). Patients without accessory vessels had a borderline higher response rate to RDN than those with at least one accessory vessel (83% vs 62% respectively, p=0.076) and a higher RDN response than patients with untreated accessory arteries (83% vs 55%; p=0.040). For accessory renal arteries and nonresponse, the sensitivity was 76%, specificity 49%, with positive and negative predictive values 38% and 83% respectively. CONCLUSIONS Accessory renal arteries were markedly over-represented in resistant hypertensives compared with healthy controls. While not all patients with accessory arteries were nonresponders, nonresponse was related to both the presence and non-treatment of accessory arteries. Addressing accessory renal arteries in future clinical trials may improve RDN therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract
Percutaneous renal denervation has emerged as an effective adjunct in the management of resistant hypertension. However, the limits of the renal anatomical criteria that can be successfully treated are still unknown. In this report, we describe the case of a middle-aged man with essential resistant hypertension and two small left accessory renal arteries that underwent renal denervation of both principal renal arteries. He responded well with a progressive reduction in blood pressure measuring of 16/10, 32/17 and 45/24 mmHg at 1, 6 and 12 months, respectively. At 12 months, 94% of ambulatory measurements were below 140/90 mmHg and the number of anti-hypertensive medications had decreased from six to three. Thus, it would appear that the presence of two non-ablated left accessory renal arteries does not influence the response to renal denervation.

Abstract
Ectopic kidney occurs as a result of a halt in migration of kidneys to their normal locations during embryonal period. While kidneys ascend through pelvis, they receive new branches from vessels (iliac and aorta) close to them. When they reach the highest point, they receive new branches from aorta and the former branches degenerate. Renal vessels do not degenerate in the ectopic caudal kidney, more than one accessory and polar arteries may arise. In various studies, a possibility of association between presence of multiple renal arteries and hypertension, has been reported. We aimed to present a case with bilateral ectopic kidney and vascular anomaly associated with hypertension and renal dysfunction.
