Subject: Two left renal arteries?

Everyone,
I have another question about anatomical variability.  How common is it
for
someone to have two renal arteries on the same side?  I know it happens,
but
I have never seen it discussed in any of the books I have on anatomy.  I
know I ask a lot of these sorts of questions, but I am still learning
and
haven't had that annoying natural curiosity beaten out of me yet.  If
anyone
could provide some input on this for me, I would appreciate it.

Also is there any text that lists common anatomical variables for things
like vascular structures, etc?
