Renovascular occlusive disease. Results of operative treatment
Abstract:
The blood pressure response to operative treatment in 502 patients with renal artery stenosis and coexisting hypertension was as follows: 51% cured, 15% improved, and 34% failure. The operative mortality was 5.9%. Patients with unilateral fibromuscular disease had a favorable blood pressure response (79.8%) more frequently than the patients with unilateral atherosclerosis (63.4%). In patients with bilateral stenosis, a favorable result occurred in 56%. The anatomic failure rate due to thrombosis of arterial reconstructions, as well as the operative mortality, varied considerably between institutions. If preoperative diagnostic studies demonstrated significant functional disparity between kidneys, and if the operation was anatomically successful, then approximately 80% of these patients were benefited by surgical intervention.
