Abstract

Renal revascularization is primarily undertaken to cure or improve renovascular hypertension. A second major objective may be the preservation or restoration of renal function. Although the exact incidence of renovascular hypertension has not been clearly defined, renal artery occlusive disease is commonly regarded as the most important surgically correctable cause of hypertension. The underlying renal artery pathology is usually either atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia. Rarer causes include Takayasu’s disease or other forms of arteritis, neurofibromatosis, abdominal aortic coarctation, chronic traumatic or embolic lesions and arteriovenous fistulae.
