Abstract:
Ultrasonic duplex scanning can be used as a noninvasive method for the detection and quantification of the degree of renal artery stenosis. The method is useful for screening patients with hypertension that cannot be controlled by medical means. It can also serve as a method of following the results of intervention via surgery or angioplasty.
