Control of renovascular hypertension by renal embolization.
Two cases with medically well-controlled renovascular hypertension due to unilateral contracted kidney were treated by percutaneous renal embolization. One of the patients had two aneurysms of the renal artery in addition to the stenosis. Both patients remained normotensive without medication after follow-ups of 6 and 24 months, respectively.
