title: [Results of surgical revascularization of the kidney].
abstract: There are many different etiologies of renal artery disease (atherosclerosis, aneurysm, dissection, arteriovenous fistula, embolism, fibromuscular dysplasia) and also a lot of different therapies (conservative treatment, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty [PTA], endarterectomy, bypass grafting, patch plasty, nephrectomy). Recently conservative treatment and PTA have significantly improved. Patients who are referred to surgery today are of older age with severe and often bilateral disease of the renal arteries. Additional manifestations of general atherosclerosis like coronary artery disease, aortic aneurysm, peripheral occlusive vessel disease and cerebral vascular insufficiency are often present as well. The main goal of all forms of treatment is the preservation of general renal function. With our retrospective study the results after surgical revascularisation of kidneys are evaluated over a short period of time. Only graft revascularisations are included in the study and we were mainly interested in renal function and blood pressure.
