title: Long-term outcome after renovascular surgery. Comparison between thoracoretroperitoneal/saphenous vein and transabdominal/Dacron prosthesis bypass grafting.
abstract: The outcomes of 16 patients operated on for renovascular hypertension (RH) are analyzed. Eight had undergone surgery by the thoracoretroperitoneal approach with saphenous vein bypass grafting, and 8 by the transabdominal approach with a Dacron prosthesis. Distinct differences in favour of the former group were found after an average of 6 years of follow-up.
