We describe an extremely rare case with a supplementary artery arising from an opposite renal artery without renal anomalies in position and in form. An unusual artery crossing the aorta can be suggested by contrast-enhanced computed tomography. A renal cell carcinoma is supplied by the branch of the opposite renal artery.

The arrangement of arteries in the mesentery in pigs was studied with latex casts and light microscopy. Arterial arcades, which are characteristic of the mesentery in man and other species, are absent. Instead, a narrow band of numerous, anastomosing arteries gives rise to up to about 500 bundles of
The conus artery has long been recognized as an important source of collateral blood supply to a significantly diseased left anterior descending artery. This artery which arises 50% of the time from a separate orifice in the right sinus of Valsalva may also provide collateral circulation to a diseas
