Abstract:
A retrospective study concerned 8 aneurysms of the renal artery. There were 6 females and 2 males with a mean age of 50.7 years. Diagnosis was obtained angiographically in all cases, in 7 during a reno-vascular work-up for hypertension and fortuitously in 1 after angiography for arteriopathy of the lower limbs. The aneurysm was due to fibromuscular dysplasia in 5 cases and to atheromatous lesions in 3. Reconstruction techniques and their indications were analyzed on the basis of a review of the literature. Outcome for hypertensive patients are the same for the different techniques.
