title: The angiographic incidence of renal artery stenosis in the arteriosclerotic population.
abstract: The incidence of renal artery stenosis was evaluated with intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography in 100 consecutive patients referred for peripheral arteriopathy. Fifty-seven patients were normotensive, 43 were hypertensive. In the normotensive group, renal artery stenosis was found in ten patients (17.5%). In the hypertensive group renal artery stenosis was found in twelve patients (28%). It is concluded that the incidence of renal artery stenosis is high in an arteriosclerotic population both in normotensive and hypertensive patients.
