[Our experience with the surgical treatment of renovascular hypertension]

The experience with 785 operations performed for the period from 1962 to 1983 on 697 patients is presented. The advantage of direct reconstructive operations over restorative interventions with the employment of explantation materials is proved. In the remote period after operation positive results were noted in 85% of patients with fibrose-muscular dysplasia of renal arteries and in 70% of patients with non-specific aorto-arteritis.
