Abstract

Abstract: Percutaneous angioplasty In the management of renovascular hypertension. W. B. McKenzie, J. Palmer and D. E. L. Wilcken, Aust. N.Z. J. Med., 1982,12, pp. 189–191. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for renal artery stenosis is a brief procedure which has proven effectiveness and which can be performed under local anaesthesia with a low incidence of side effects. This report details the successful treatment of a patient with severe renovascular hypertension due to a stenotic left renal artery. Follow–up three months after balloon dilatation revealed continued wide patency of the vessel and the patient's blood pressure remained easily controlled.
