What are the outcomes and predictors of response to surgical treatment for renovascular hypertension?
Surgical treatment of renovascular hypertension provides benefit in a subset of patients, with clinical features offering the best guide to predicting surgical outcome.
Sellars et al. (1985) conducted an observational in Renovascular hypertension (n=60). Surgical procedures vs. Medical treatment was evaluated on Cure of hypertension at one year. Surgical procedures for renovascular hypertension resulted in 23% of patients being cured, 37% improved, and 40% unchanged at one year, with clinical features best predicting the outcome.
