Comparison of ischemic and ischemic/reperfused kidney injury via clamping renal artery, vein, or pedicle in anesthetized rats

ConclusionThe transmission of high arterial pressure into renal microvessels and rupturing of their walls during venous-clamping augment, but the retrograde blood flow from veins into kidney during artery clamping attenuates induction of renal tissue injury with respect to pedicle clamping not only at the ischemic period but also at the early reperfusion period and along with the proportional development of renal dysfunctions.
