Identifying of variations of renal vascular anatomy is important for radical surgery, endovascular intervention, and renal transplantation. While there are common normal variations of renal vascular anatomy, such as accessory renal arteries, a main renal artery that originates from the thoracic aorta (thoracic renal artery) is remarkably rare. The majority of reported cases of thoracic renal artery were right side, except two cases reported on 1980 and 2016. The author reports a rare case of left renal artery originating from the thoracic aorta.
确定肾血管解剖结构的变异对于根治性手术、血管内介入治疗和肾移植都很重要。虽然肾血管解剖结构有一些常见的正常变异，如副肾动脉，但发自胸主动脉（胸肾动脉）的主肾动脉却非常罕见。大多数报道的胸肾动脉病例都是右侧，只有两例外报告于 1980 年和 2016 年。作者报告了一例罕见的发自胸主动脉的左肾动脉。
