Abstract
A total of 18 patients underwent surgical correction of renal hypertension secondary to Takayasu's disease after unsuccessful maximum medical therapy. Although the patients required an extensive surgical procedure, the morbidity and mortality rates were low (1 perioperative death in 18 patients). Followup showed that 67 per cent of the patients were cured of the hypertension and 28 per cent were improved. The results appear as good as those seen in the treatment of renovascular hypertension owing to fibromuscular disease or atherosclerosis.Keywords
