Renovascular hypertension.
In current clinical practice, angiographic evaluation of patients with suspected renovascular hypertension usually follows clinical suspicion and positive captopril scintigraphy. Early digital angiography and percutaneous renal artery angioplasty have evolved as the accepted treatment pattern. Doppler sonography and MR angiography continue to be evaluated as potential methods of noninvasive screening.
