[Surgical treatment of different forms of renovascular hypertension].

24 patients with renovascular hypertension were operated from 1995 to 1997. Patients were divided into three groups: group I-atherosclerotic stricture of renal arteries with or without aorta stenosis (13), group II-fibromuscular dysplasia (8), group III-stricture of vascular anastomosis after renal transplantation (5). All patients were disqualified from PTA. Operations of reanastomosis of renal arteries to aorta or prosthesis and TEA dominated in group I, the operation of choice in groups II and III was plastic procedure with patch or venous graft. Authors conclude that surgical treatment of renovascular hypertension is an efficient method of treatment in case of disqualification from PTA and the way of reconstruction should be dependent on the reason of renovascular hypertension.
