Abstract The technical aspects of RT in low‐weight children should be specific, particularly with regard to VA . This retrospective study assesses the main options paediatric s and proposes a new strategy for renal artery trajectory when using Ao right iVC sample included 81 patients was categorized into group weighing <16 kg other 16 or more. smaller received graft predominantly on (63%); however, varied more than kg, anastomoses common iliac vessels (46%). In first group, selected vessel anastomosis side, adopted transplanted kidney posterior may reduce risk compression by donor reconstitute normal anatomy artery. Moreover, it did not represent factor loss this sample.
