title: Successful treatment of recurrent renovascular hypertension by solitary kidney autotransplantation.
abstract: A case of recurrent renovascular hypertension is described in a patient with a solitary kidney successfully treated as an emergency for acute renal failure and unresponsive hypertension, by renal autotransplantation in the right iliac fossa. The results suggests that renal autotransplantation is a safe and reliable procedure in correcting particularly difficult renal vascular diseases where, due to the presence of a solitary kidney, all possible causes of technical failure of revascularization should be avoided.
