Zeitschrift Fur Kardiologie
|May 1, 1975
In a young female with renovascular hypertension multiple stenoses affecting both renal arteries, abdominal aorta and left axillary artery could be demonstrated. The elevated blood pressure could be normalized by bypass operation of the renal arteries. Histopathologic findings were those of giant cell (Takayasu) arteritis.
