Supports durability of combined reconstruction despite perioperative risk; leaves open randomized trials versus endovascular strategies.
Does combined aortic and renal artery reconstruction improve hypertension and renal function with acceptable mortality in patients with juxtarenal aortic atherosclerosis?
Combined aortic and renal artery reconstruction for juxtarenal aortic atherosclerosis carries a 9% perioperative mortality but provides excellent long-term cure or control of hypertension and preservation of renal function.
Stoney et al. (1984) studied this question.
