title: Simultaneous bilateral renal artery reconstruction and intraoperative renal protection. A case report.
abstract: A 22-year-old Japanese man with bilateral renal artery stenosis associated with hypertension underwent successful surgery of simultaneous bilateral renal artery reconstruction under conditions of intraoperative renal perfusion with St. Thomas Hospital solution which is used for cardioplegia in open heart surgery. Circulation in the left kidney was interrupted for 58 minutes and that of the right kidney for 35 minutes. The patient fully recovered with no serious impairment of renal function. In addition to these stenotic lesions of the renal artery, there were medial necrosis of the aorta and fibromuscular dysplasia of the superior mesenteric artery. Administration of SQ14,225, an angiotensin I converting enzyme inhibitor, was effective in controlling hypertension during the preoperative period.
