title: [Renovascular hypertension-bilateral kidney: autotransplantation and reconstruction of the aorta with autologous saphena].
abstract: The authors describe a patient with stenosis of the renal artery undergoing bilateral kidney autotransplantation and reconstruction of the aorta with autologous saphena. This study also provides a general evaluation of renovascular hypertension incidence, etiopathogenesis, symptomatology, diagnostic criteria, therapy. The presence of a diastolic pressure > 110 mmHg, with normal creatinin levels and urinalysis results, is very significant and leads to invasive investigations. Site and size of the anatomic anomaly are evaluated by arteriography. Surgery is the treatment of choice.
