Abstract
From the standpoint of surgical treatment, the vascular hypertension could be classified into three categories; namely, coarctation of the thoracic aorta, atypical thoraco-abdominal aortic coarctation and renovascular hypertension. In this paper, the surgical treatment of vascular hypertension based on a 20 year experience at the University Hospitals of Marburg, Cologne and currently of Munich are reported. Surgical therapy is most effective, if the relationship between the vascular or organ changes and the existing hypertension is clarified. Therefore, it is true that in the light of operative long term results the efforts should be directed to appropriate patient selection and adequate operative procedures.
