During the performance of routine angiography in a community hospital, three different forms of renal arterial spasm were encountered. Renal artery spasm may involve either large or small arteries of the kidneys. The temporary nature of the spasms may be demonstrated by additional angiography which shows no defect. Either a sufficient waiting period for the spasm to relent or the employment of a vasodilating drug through the catheter will usually suffice for this demonstration. Differentiation of spasm from fixed, organic disease is essential to prevent diagnostic error and improper therapy.
在一家社区医院进行常规血管造影时，遇到了三种不同形式的肾动脉痉挛。肾动脉痉挛可能累及肾脏的大动脉或小动脉。痉挛的暂时性可通过再次血管造影显示无缺损来证实。通常，要么等待足够长的时间让痉挛缓解，要么通过导管使用血管扩张药物，都足以证实这一点。区分痉挛与固定的器质性疾病对于防止诊断错误和不适当的治疗至关重要。
