The results of 61 consecutive patients with renal artery stenosis and renovascular hypertension after reconstruction are reported. 63% were males, 37% females. In 66% the disease was caused by arteriosclerosis-the mean age in this group 47 years. As operative procedures were performed: Saphenous vein bypass (35%), Dacron aorto-renal graft (29%), Thrombendarteriectomy (23%). Splenorenal anastomosis, resection-reimplantation, autotransplantation were performed in (13%). 18% of the operations were combined with other vascular, 15% with non vascular additional surgery. In 7.7% bilateral renal artery reconstructions were done simultaneously. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since January 1977, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-Goretex has been used 82 times as aortoiliac substitute: 49 ilio-femoral, 17 ilio-profundal, 10 axillo-femoral, and 6 femoro-femoral cross-over bypasses were performed. In this group of patients 20% were diabetics, 85% were in a preoperative Stage III or IV according to Fontaine, with an average age of 66 years. Postoperative anticoagulation therapy was not used routinely. Each patient had noninva sive diagnostic procedures pre- and postoperatively (Figure 1). [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
