    Antihypertensive medications, including captopril, effectively lowered blood pressure in patients with complex renovascular hypertension when surgery was not an option. This medical management offers a viable alternative for difficult cases.

    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Cardiology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Investigated clinical course and therapeutic response in 16 patients with complex renovascular hypertension.
    • Surgical or transluminal interventions were ineffective or not feasible for all patients.

    Observation:

    • The patient cohort included diverse complex renovascular conditions: fibromuscular disease, arteriosclerotic occlusions, branch renal artery aneurysms, and stenosis in solitary kidneys.
    • Antihypertensive therapy, notably with angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor captopril, was administered.

    Findings:

    • Mean blood pressure significantly decreased from 214/124 mm Hg to 145/88 mm Hg (P < 0.001).
    • 69% of patients (11 out of 16) achieved blood pressure below 160/95 mm Hg with medical management.

    Implications:

    • Antihypertensive treatment presents a potent therapeutic alternative for complex renovascular hypertension when interventions are contraindicated or high-risk.
    • Medical management, particularly with ACE inhibitors, can be a crucial strategy for improving outcomes in challenging renovascular hypertension cases.
