[Changes in the renin-aldosterone system after unilateral portalization of adrenal and renal blood in patients with arterial hypertension].
Twenty-one patients with severe arterial hypertension were operated on using an original procedure, which consisted in creating a left-side renoportal venous anastomosis and right-side adrenalectomy. A considerable hypotensive effect was noted at both early and late follow-up. A drop in vascular peripheral resistance as a result of decreased blood aldosterone and cortisol levels as well as sodium elimination was found to be the principal mechanism of the hypotensive effect.
