title: Surgical revascularization in children with renovascular hypertension.
abstract: Two boys, 11 and 10 years of age, respectively, having renovascular hypertension are reported. Diagnostically, captopril test and renal scintigraphy were useful as pharmacologic probes of the renal arterial stenosis and to determine its laterality, as well for examination of the operative outcome. Both children were rendered normotensive after renal revascularization, one by renal autotransplantation and the other by aortorenal bypass procedure. Renovascular hypertension in children is also discussed.
