Correction of renal hypertension by ligation of stenotic segmental renal artery.

Hypertension secondary to segmental renal ischemia caused by segmental renal artery stenosis has been relieved by nephrectomy, partial nephrectomy, excision of atrophic segments, or repair of the segmental vessels. This is a report of hypertension caused by stenosis of a segmental renal artery and cured by simple ligation of the stenotic artery.
