  • Title: Splenorenal bypass in the treatment of stenosis of the renal artery.
    Author: Novick AC, Banowsky LH, Stewart BH, Straffon RA.
    Journal: Surg Gynecol Obstet; 1977 Jun; 144(6):891-8. PubMed ID: 871000.
    Abstract:
    The over-all results obtained with splenorenal bypass in the treatment of 32 patients with renovascular hypertension were 17 patients cured, nine patients improved and six failures. Improved results were noted when splenorenal bypass was performed in relation to specific operative indications. The results were somewhat better for men than for women; however, poor results were obtained in children. Intraoperative and early postoperative complications were minimal, and there were two postoperative deaths. Late complications were limited to stenoses of the splenic artery graft which developed in three patients. When performed in relation to specific clinical and operative indications, splenorenal bypass represents an excellent means of achieving safe and effective renal revascularization.
