  • Title: Treatment of renovascular hypertension with percutaneous transluminal dilatation of a renal-artery stenosis.
    Author: Grüntzig A, Kuhlmann U, Vetter W, Lütolf U, Meier B, Siegenthaler W.
    Journal: Lancet; 1978 Apr 15; 1(8068):801-2. PubMed ID: 85817.
    Abstract:
    Percutaneous transluminal dilatation of a left-sided renal-artery stenosis was done in a 61-year-old patient with hypertension. Shortly after dilatation blood-pressure fell to normal and renal plasma flow increased. Dilatation might be an alternative to renal vascular surgery in severe renal hypertension.
