Renovascular hypertension due to spontaneous thrombus formation - a successful case treated by saphenous vein bypass grafting.
Year: 1981
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: A 55-year-old man with renovascular hypertension of three-year duration was treated by renal artery revascularization, using aorto-renal saphenous vein bypass grafting. The patient has had an excellent pressure response. Histopathological examination of the stenotic portion of the right renal artery revealed thrombus in the arterial lumen with channels of recanalization. Because of the absence of predisposing factors and associated diseases, we think this is a case of renal artery occlusion due to spontaneous thrombosis.
