Abstract
Renal artery stenoses can cause hypertension and renal failure. These lesions can be relatively easily diagnosed and most can be successfully treated. Recognizing them is important because relief of stenoses either by angioplasty or surgical revascularization often cures the hypertension and, if renal failure is present, improves or stabilizes excretory function.
