A multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with symptomatic arterial hypertension enabled us to identify 154 patients with adrenal tumors. These patients underwent adrenalectomy for following reasons: pheochromocytoma--73 patients, aldosteronoma-- 43 patients, corticosteroma--22 patients, incidentalomas--16 patients. After surgery, stable normalization of blood pressure (BP) occurred in 84.4% of cases. Requirement of antihypertensive therapy was preserved in 15.6% cases, but blood pressure did not reach the preoperative levels in any of the treated patients. Among 81 patients with renal hypertension, 67 patients underwent balloon angioplasty with stent implantation. Cause of narrowing of renal artery was atherosclerotic lesion in 48 (71.6%) patients, fibromuscular dysplasia--in 18 (26.8 %) patients, and Takayasu's disease--in 12 year-old girl. In the immediate postoperative period, normalization of blood pressure was occurred in all patients who underwent surgery for renovascular hypertension. |
