    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Surgery
    • Nephrology
    • Hypertension Management

    Background:

    • Renovascular surgery has significantly advanced over the last two decades.
    • Established surgical techniques and ex vivo approaches allow repair of most renal artery lesions.
    • Optimal patient selection remains a critical area of ongoing research.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the evolution and current status of renovascular surgery.
    • To discuss advancements in patient selection for renovascular procedures.
    • To compare medical versus surgical management of renovascular hypertension, considering quality of life.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical techniques and patient selection criteria for renovascular hypertension.
    • Discussion of diagnostic tools, including modified renal vein renin assays.

  • Comparative analysis of medical and surgical treatment outcomes.

    • Main Results:

    • Renovascular surgery is highly efficacious with proper patient selection.
    • Surgical techniques are well-established, with ex vivo methods addressing complex lesions.
    • Newer renin assays may improve patient selection for surgery.
    • Medical management has drawbacks including inconsistent pressure control and side effects.

    Conclusions:

    • Renovascular surgery is a valuable therapeutic option for selected patients.
    • Aggressive surgical management is indicated for atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia.
    • Patient quality of life is a key factor in treatment decisions.
    • Continued research aims to refine patient selection for optimal surgical outcomes.
