[Renal autotransplantation in the treatment of renovascular hypertension].
Surgery plays an important role in the treatment of renovascular Hypertension (RVHT). 123 RVHT carrier patients were treated by means of 101 single autotransplants (11 double autotransplants) and 34 autotransplants preceded by extracorporeal replacement of the branches of the renal artery (1 bilateral case). Taken all round, the patients improved either totally or partly (93.5%). In lesions involving multiple branches of the renal artery, replacement of these by a hypogastric autologous arterial transplant is regularly the only technique possible to save the kidney.
