Unilateral renal artery stenosis and hypertension. II. Angiographic findings correlated with blood pressure response after surgery

I Andersson et al. Acta Radiol Diagn (Stockh). 1979.

Abstract

The findings at preoperative nephroangiography of 42 hypertensive patients with unilateral renal artery stenosis or occlusion were correlated with the blood pressure response following surgery and also with the preoperative renal vein renin activity ratio. A stenosis reducing luminal area by at least 90 per cent (or occlusion) and the presence of collateral circulation are considered to be highly suggestive of renovascular hypertension.
