  • Title: Control of hypertension after renal transplantation by embolisation of host kidneys.
    Author: Thompson JF, Fletcher EW, Wood RF, Chalmers DH, Taylor HM, Benjamin IS, Morris PJ.
    Journal: Lancet; 1984 Aug 25; 2(8400):424-7. PubMed ID: 6147501.
    Abstract:
    A percutaneous embolisation technique was used for host kidney ablation in 13 patients with renal allografts and hypertension. Markedly improved blood pressure control was achieved in 9 of them, and morbidity was minimal. All patients have been followed from 12 to 25 months. Embolisation of the host kidneys appears to be a simple, effective, and less hazardous alternative to surgery in the treatment of drug-resistant hypertension after renal transplantation in some patients.
