title: [Venous digital subtraction angiography of the kidneys in the diagnosis of hypertension].
abstract: Intravenous DSA plays an important role in screening of hypertensive patients for renovascular disease. A preselected hypertensive outpatient group (n = 55) was studied by DSA. For renal arteries a valuable visualization was 93% (102/110) using one (62%) over two (25%) to three (13%) sequences. Perihilar segmental arteries could be analyzed in 56% of cases. Using replay (off-line) in DSA, renal size and parenchymal contours could be evaluated following a sequence-period of about 20 seconds. A pyelographic image completes this renal diagnostic procedure in hypertensive patients.
