title: [Radiology in renovascular hypertension from i.v. urography to digital subtraction angiography. A critical evaluation].
abstract: For the last 20 years, the value of radiology in renovascular hypertension (RVH) is well established from diagnostic and therapeutic points of view. However things are changing now due to a better appraisal of the incidence of RVH, new antihypertensive drugs, and new radiological procedures (digital angiography, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty). The approach now takes in account the mode of imaging for a better evaluation of the renal artery stenosis and costs of the procedures as well. Finally a new strategy has been set up for RVH patients management.
