[Recanalization and dilatation in chronic occlusion of the renal artery: 2 case reports].
The authors describe their experience in two cases of mechanic desobliteration and subsequent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in a chronically occluded renal artery. It has become obvious that although this surgery has been so far performed only rarely it is technically viable and may exert a favourable therapeutic effect on hypertension of renovascular etiology as well as angioplasty of stenosing lesion of kidney arteries. The paper also discusses a possibility of influencing renal function by this method. The authors arrive at the conclusion that recanalization of a chronic occlusion of renal artery extends the presently relatively stabilized indications for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in this localization.
