Description

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and renal artery bypass surgery are the most effective means of treating renal vascular disease and the hypertension it causes. Selection of the most appropriate treatment depends on the nature of the underlying stenotic lesion. This is readily determined from the patient's history, character of associated hypertension, physical and laboratory findings, and arteriography. Though specialists usually provide definitive therapy, primary care physicians must be prepared to explain the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of treatment.
