  • Title: Renal artery stenosis in hypertensive renal transplant recipients.
    Author: Lindfors O, Laasonen L, Fyhrquist F, Kock B, Lindström B.
    Journal: J Urol; 1977 Aug; 118(2):240-3. PubMed ID: 330883.
    Abstract:
    Reconstruction of a stenotic renal artery was done on 5 hypertensive renal transplant recipients, all of whom had deterioration of renal function when the stenosis was detected. After reconstruction renal function improved in 4 of the patients. The blood pressure was easier to control in all 5 patients, with 3 becoming normotensive. A high preoperative plasma renin activity returned to normal postoperatively in 4 patients. No recurrences were observed after a followup of more than a year.
