[Apoplexy and stenosis of the renal atery (author's transl)]

A 48-year old man with stenosis of the right renal artery and hypertension of the renal artery and hypertension of the renal vessels suffered an apoplectic insult under antihypertensive therapy. The cause of this insult was found to be an acute total occlusion of the right carotid artery. At the same time there were stenoses of the right vertebral, the left common carotid and the left internal carotid arteries. Thromboendarterectomy of the right internal carotid artery, subclavio-carotid bypass on the left and thromboendarterectomy of the left intenal carotid artery and aortorenal bypass on the right were performed one after the other. The blood pressure can be premanently lowered, neurological symptoms no langer appear and the patient is completely able to work again.
