Renal revascularization for preservation of renal mass and function.
We advocate renal revascularization for preservation of renal mass and function. That revascularization can improve glomerular filtration and reverse vasculogenic renal failure appears well established. Proper selection of patients appears to be the key for achieving improvement of renal function after renovascular reconstruction.
