Avascular Plane of Brödel
The renal artery divides into anterior and posterior divisions, creating a relatively avascular plane called the avascular plane of Brödel. This plane is the border between the anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 of the kideny, approximately 2-3 cm posterior to the lateral border of the kidney. Being relatively avascular, it is the optimal plane for needle insertion.
