A 63-year-old male had been treated with chronic hemodialysis for 8 months. The treatment was started for acute renal failure with hypertensive crisis and pulmonary oedema. The angiographic evidence of severe bilateral renovascular disease prompted us to suggest a surgical approach since a potentially reversible renal failure was evident from scintigraphic data. A bilateral by-pass reduced the creatinine to 1.9 mg/dl and permitted the cessation of hemodialysis. Four months later the creatinine level was still stable. The blood pressure was normalized.

Abstract
A 63-year-old male had been treated with chronic hemodialysis for 8 months. The treatment was started for acute renal failure with hypertensive crisis and pulmonary oedema. The angiographic evidence of severe bilateral renovascular disease prompted us to suggest a surgical approach since a potentially reversible renal failure was evident from scintigraphic data. A bilateral by-pass reduced the creatinine to 1.9 mg/dl and permitted the cessation of hemodialysis. Four months later the creatinine level was still stable. The blood pressure was normalized.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
