Revascularization of totally occluded renal arteries. 1978

J M Barry, and C V Hodges

Two cases of total renal artery occlusion are presented. The clinical durations of occlusion were 10 days and 6 months. Revascularization procedures were successful in both patients, resulting in return of renal function and alleviation of hypertension. Our 2 cases and a review of 30 other cases demonstrate that the maximum duration of main renal artery occlusion with subsequent return of renal function is unknown.

D012078	Renal Artery Obstruction	Narrowing or occlusion of the RENAL ARTERY or arteries. It is due usually to ATHEROSCLEROSIS; FIBROMUSCULAR DYSPLASIA; THROMBOSIS; EMBOLISM, or external pressure. The reduced renal perfusion can lead to renovascular hypertension (HYPERTENSION, RENOVASCULAR).
