Abstract
Renal artery surgery was performed for the first time in 1926 when Callahan and Schiltz [2] ligated a renal artery aneurysm. In 1934 Goldblatt [10] demonstrated that constriction of a renal artery produced atrophy of the involved kidney resulting in hypertension. In 1937 Butler [1] reported remission of hypertension due to pyelonephritis after nephrectomy. In 1956, however, Smith [21] reviewed 575 cases of patients with hypertension and a small kidney who were treated by nephrectom. Only 26% had benefited, and he concluded that nephrectomy should be done only for urologie indications and not for control of hypertension.
