| Abstrakt: |
Severe hypertension non-responsive to medical therapy was discovered in a 27-year-old woman in the third trimester of pregnancy. Renal arteriography after delivery revealed bilateral renal artery stenosis. The right kidney was smaller than the left one. The differential renal function studies, rather than the renal vein renin measurements, identified which side was causing the hypertension. An attempt at primary repair of the right renal artery failed. Orthotopic renal autotransplantation, using saphenous vein grafts that were interposed between the renal veins and the inferior vena cava, and between the segmental renal arteries and the abdominal aorta, reduced the blood pressure to normal values. |
