Abstract :The angiograms of 40 nephrectomised donors operated at the Department of Urology. Hacettepe University Hospital, were evaluated retrospectively. It was found that in 84 % of donors who underwent intravenous digital subtraction angiography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IV-DSA); and in 76 % of patients who underwent conventional aortography and selective renal angiography insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CA); the estimations for renal arterial anatomy preoperative - ly were correct. The accuracy of the two techniques for predicting the renal arterial status did not differ statistically. It was concluded that as IV-DSA is a non- invasive method, it should be the procedure of choice for evaluating living renal donors.
