The renal arteries normally originate from the abdominal aorta between the first and second lumbar vertebrae. The main renal artery arising from the thoracic aorta is an uncommon anomaly. Here we report a rare case of a right renal artery originating above the celiac axis. A 38-year-old male underwent computed tomographic angiography in preparation for being a renal donor, and two right renal arteries were observed. A main renal artery arose from the thoracic aorta at the 11th thoracic vertebral level, and an accessory renal artery originated from the abdominal aorta at the renal hilum.
肾动脉通常起源于第一和第二腰椎之间的腹主动脉。起源于胸主动脉的主要肾动脉是一种罕见的异常情况。在此，我们报告一例罕见的右肾动脉起源于腹腔干上方的病例。一名38岁男性为准备成为肾供体接受了计算机断层血管造影，结果观察到两条右肾动脉。一条主要肾动脉起源于第11胸椎水平的胸主动脉，一条副肾动脉起源于肾门处的腹主动脉。
