sure is better controlled, or both), or unchanged. Interpretation of data is limited by the uncertain clinical relevance of these clas­sification groups. Furthermore, there are several potential reasons why renal artery revascularization for ARAS may not result in dra­matic improvement or cure of hypertension. First, many patients with ARAS probably have essential, not renovascular hypertension. Experimental Goldblatt models demonstrate renin-angiotensin activation due to RAS, but hypertension in humans is more com­plex than indicated by these models.
31
Hypertension in ARAS may be confounded by the presence of sympathetic and cerebral ner­vous system activation, vasoactive oxygen species, abnormalities in endothelial-dependent relaxation, and ischemic and hyper­tensive intrarenal injury.
32
A more complex milieu than suggested by Goldblatt models is suggested by similar degrees of renin acti­vation in hypertensive patients with and without ARAS and by the low cure rates demonstrated after successful revascular­ization. Second, many patients with hypertension have intrarenal parenchymal disease, leading to hypertensive nephropathy and self-perpetuating hypertension. In these patients, hypertension is sustained by intrarenal mechanisms including increased sympa­thetic nerve activity, renin-angiotensin system activity, and impaired sodium excretion regardless of patency of the proximal renal artery.
Despite these limitations, it is apparent that hypertension is more
likely to be cured after revascularization in patients with FMD than in those with ARAS (75% vs. < 20%), regardless of the type of revascularization.

With respect to differences in unilateral and bilateral ARAS, one study suggested that improvement in hyperten­sion after renal stenting was more likely in the presence of severe bilateral ARAS and severe baseline hypertension (mean arterial pressure > absent. in blood pressure when renal hypoperfusion was sought and cor­rected by renal stenting.

Impact of Revascularization on Renal Function
Observational studies suggest that renal artery revascularization can stabilize or improve renal function ( zation results in significant improvement in postoperative total- and single-kidney nuclear GFR, a slower decline in GFR, and improve­ments in renal dimensions and hyperconcentration of urinary creatine. Improvement in renal function after stenting occurred in 8% to 22% of patients in a systematic review,18 and 20 of 22 cohort studies reported improvement or stabilization of renal function.

In contrast to these observational data, five prospective random­ized trials of renal revascularization failed to demonstrate improve­ment in renal outcomes after intervention.
19,20,22–24
Interpretation of these studies is confounded by failure to assess renal perfusion and the extent of baseline nephropathy prior to revasculariza­tion. Additionally, these studies relied on reciprocal serum Cr or creatinine-based GFR estimates as major renal endpoints, which have been shown to be unreliable for serial assessment of renal function in ARAS patients.
11
Taken collectively, these studies suggest that patient selection for revascularization of ARAS that is based on the oculostenotic reflex, and without assessment of renal ischemia and parenchymal disease, is likely not beneficial.
Impact of Revascularization on Cardiovascular Outcome
Understanding the impact of renal revascularization on long­term outcome is hampered by selection bias and poorly designed randomized controlled trials. The survival of medically treated patients with renovascular disease has not been defined, but most late deaths are due to cardiovascular events rather than pro­gressive renal failure. After revascularization, predictors of 5- and 10-year mortalities include age older than 60 years, CAD, baseline renal insufficiency, and persistent elevation of postoperative cre­atinine. Baseline Cr above 1.5 mg/dL is the strongest independent predictor of late mortality at 4 years (relative risk [RR] 5.0); is a stronger correlate of late mortality than diabetes (RR 2.5) or age older than 70 years (RR 1.9); and is associated with a greater risk of deterioration in renal function.35 Together, these data suggest that elderly patients with advanced generalized atherosclerosis, mani­fested by occlusive diseases in multiple vascular beds and base­line renal insufficiency, have a worse prognosis than patients with limited atherosclerosis and normal renal function. These data also suggest that the outcomes of renal revascularization are better when revascularization is performed before the development of advanced parenchymal disease.
To address the impact of renal artery revascularization on over­all cardiovascular outcomes, best medical therapy alone is being compared to medical therapy plus stenting in the CORAL trial (Cardiovascular Outcomes with Renal Atherosclerotic Lesions). Enrollment of approximately 1100 randomized patients is expected by 2012, and the primary endpoint is a composite of death, myo­cardial infarction (MI), stroke, hospitalization for congestive heart failure, need for renal replacement, and doubling of serum Cr at

sion are typically young or middle-aged females with FMD. Initial therapy for renovascular hypertension associated with FMD is an ACEI; refractory hypertension responds readily to PTA with­out stenting. In contrast, ARAS is highly prevalent among elderly patients with other manifestations of atherosclerosis, and fre­quently results from in-growth of atherosclerotic plaque from the abdominal aorta, compromising the ostium of the renal artery. In elderly patients with generalized atherosclerosis and ARAS, hypertension is usually not renin-dependent (i.e., essen­tial hypertension). Because renal revascularization rarely cures hypertension, these patients should be treated aggressively with

CHAPTER
25 Surgical Management
of Atherosclerotic Renal Artery Disease
Billy G. Chacko, William B. Newton III, Kimberley J. Hansen
The introduction of new, more potent antihypertensive agents and percutaneous endovascular techniques has influenced surgi­cal intervention for atherosclerotic renal artery disease (ARAS). Many physicians currently limit surgical intervention to severe hypertension despite maximal medical therapy, or disease patterns not amenable to percutaneous transluminal renal artery angio­plasty (PTRA), or renovascular disease associated with excretory renal insufficiency (i.e., ischemic nephropathy). As a result, the patient population selected for operative management is often characterized by bilateral ostial renal artery stenosis (RAS) or occlu­sion (85%) superimposed on diffuse extrarenal atherosclerotic disease (91%) in combination with renal insufficiency (60%).
Although there are several operative methods that can correct ARAS, no single technique is clearly superior. Optimal methods of operative renal reconstruction vary with the patient, pattern of renal artery disease, and clinical significance of associated aortic lesions.

Prevalence, Evaluation, and Diagnosis
Prevalence
These data suggest that the probability of finding clinically sig­nificant renal artery disease varies directly with the patient's age, severity of hypertension, and severity of renal insufficiency. With this in mind, we recommend evaluation for renovascular disease in all persons with severe hypertension, especially when severe hyper­tension is found in combination with excretory renal insufficiency.
Evaluation
Through continued improvements in software and probe design, renal duplex ultrasonography is an accurate and reliable method to identify hemodynamically significant renal atherosclerotic disease. renal function, and overall accuracy is not affected by concom­itant aortoiliac disease. In addition, preparation is minimal (an overnight fast), and there is no need to alter antihypertensive medications.

Aortography and renal angiography may be indicated after a positive duplex ultrasound study in selected patients. Patients with severe hypertension and negative or nondiagnostic duplex ultrasound examinations, especially children and young adults, should also undergo angiography. Diagnostic digital subtrac­tion angiography (DSA) can be performed with minimal risk in an outpatient setting. In planning open operative therapy, imag­ing includes lateral aortography to evaluate the mesenteric ves­sels. Concurrent mesenteric artery disease was identified in 50% of patients with significant RAS in an angiographic case series of U.S. veterans. authors identified a significant and independent association of mesenteric artery stenosis with renal artery stenosis.10 Concurrent mesenteric artery disease has bearing on the use of splanchno­renal reconstruction.

Diagnosis
When a unilateral renal artery lesion is confirmed in an adult patient with severe hypertension, its functional significance should be defined. Unfortunately, measurement of renal vein renin does not have great value when severe bilateral disease or disease to a solitary kidney is present. Therefore, the decision for empirical intervention is based on severity of the renal artery lesions, severity of hypertension, and degree of associated renal insufficiency. In the latter instance, issues determining recovery of excretory renal function in patients with ischemic nephrop­athy remain ill-defined. Our center's experience with over 240 patients with severe hypertension (mean, 201/104 mmHg) and a preoperative SCr of 1.8 mg/dL or greater has demonstrated a significant association between improved renal function after operative intervention and the site of renal artery disease, extent of renovascular repair, and rate of decline in preoperative renal function. in excretory renal function is associated with the best oppor­tunity for recovery of renal function. improved renal function after operation is the primary determi­nant of dialysis-free survival among patients with preoperative ischemic nephropathy.
appropriate as a combined aortic procedure in the absence of functional studies (e.g., renal vein renin assay) when hypertension is severe, the patient does not have significant risk factors for oper­ation, and the probability of technical success is certain (>99%). In these circumstances, correction of a renal artery lesion may be justified to eliminate all possible causes of hypertension and renal dysfunction. Because the probability of blood pressure benefit is lower in such a patient, morbidity from the procedure must also be predictably low.
cal decision to intervene is based on severity of the renovascular lesions and degree of hypertension. disease consists of severe stenosis on one side and only mild or moderate disease on the contralateral side, the patient is treated as though only a unilateral lesion exists. If both renal arteries have only moderately severe disease (65%-80% diameter-reducing stenosis), renal revascularization is undertaken only if hypertension is severe.

In contrast, if both renal artery lesions are severe (>80% stenosis) and the patient has resistant hypertension despite medical therapy, bilateral simultaneous renal revascularization is performed.
Furthermore, at least mild excretory renal insufficiency is often present. Because renal insufficiency usually parallels the severity of hypertension, a patient who presents with severe renal insuffi-

parenchymal disease. Characteristically, renovascular hypertension associated with severe renal insufficiency or dialysis dependence is associated with very severe bilateral stenoses or total renal artery occlusions.
2,14
When considering repair of renal artery disease, one should evaluate the clinical status with respect to this characteris­tic presentation.
Management Options
Management of renal artery disease discovered incidentally dur­ing evaluation of cardiac, aortoiliac, or infrainguinal disease is controversial. In this setting, the decision must address the need for additional diagnostic tests and the decision whether or not to perform combined intervention. Advocates for combined inter­vention frequently cite “natural history” data ( suggest atherosclerotic lesions of the renal artery frequently prog­ress and progression is associated with irretrievable decline in kidney size and function. Recent experience, however, disputes this view. In an 8-year follow-up study of Cardiovascular Health Study participants,
27
no individual with hemodynamically sig­nificant RAS at baseline demonstrated progression on follow-up. Renal artery stenosis at baseline was not associated with a decline in kidney size or function. In the absence of renovascular hypertension or insufficiency (i.e., ischemic nephropathy), these prospective data suggest that incidental renovascular disease should not be submitted to intervention by any method. This con­clusion is supported by the retrospective experience reported by Williamson et al.
28
No prospective randomized clinical trial compares medical management, percutaneous renal angioplasty with stent, and sur­gical reconstruction in patients with atherosclerotic renovascular disease (also see Chapter 24). In patients with functionally signifi­cant renal artery lesions and severe hypertension, contemporary results of operative management argue for a selective approach toward renal artery intervention.
1,2
Whether by open surgical repair or catheter-based methods, indications for intervention are the same. These include all patients with severe or difficult-to-control hypertension, especially when associated with renal insufficiency.
Table 25-1) that
Patient age, type of lesion, medical comorbidity, and concomitant aortic disease must be considered in selecting patients for open surgical or endovascular management. In the complete absence of hypertension, renal artery intervention is not recommended by any method.
Operative Management
GENERAL ISSUES
The presence of severe hypertension is considered a prerequi­site for renal artery intervention. In general, functional studies are used to guide management of unilateral lesions. Empirical renal artery repair is performed without functional studies when hypertension is severe and renal artery disease is bilateral or the patient has ischemic nephropathy. tic renal artery repair in the absence of hypertension, whether as an isolated operative or catheter-based procedure or combined with aortic reconstruction, is not recommended. With the excep­tion of disease requiring bilateral ex vivo reconstructions that are staged, all hemodynamically significant renal artery disease is cor­rected in a single operation. Having observed beneficial blood pressure and renal function response regardless of kidney size or histological pattern on renal biopsy, nephrectomy is reserved for unreconstructible renal artery disease to a nonfunctioning kidney (i.e., <10% function by reno graphy). structions are preferred over indirect methods because concomi­tant disease of the celiac axis is present in 40% to 50% of patients, and bilateral renal artery repair is required in 50%. repair is associated with a significant and independent increased risk of eventual dialysis dependence. intraoperative duplex ultrasound is used to evaluate the technical results of surgical repair.
29
PREOPERATIVE PREPARATION
Antihypertensive medications are reduced during the preop­erative period to the minimum necessary for blood pressure control. Patients requiring large doses of multiple medications will often have reduced requirements while hospitalized on bed rest. If continued therapy is required, vasodilators and selective β-adrenergic blocking agents are the drugs of choice. If an adult's diastolic blood pressure exceeds 120 mmHg, operative treatment is postponed until the pressure is brought under control. In this instance, intravenous (IV) therapy is administered in an intensive care setting.

OPERATIVE TECHNIQUES
A variety of operative techniques have been used to treat renal artery atherosclerosis. From a practical standpoint, the three basic operations that have been most frequently used are aortore-
nal bypass, renal artery thromboendarterectomy, and renal arter y reimplantation. Although each method may have its proponents,
no single approach provides optimal repair for all types of renal artery disease. Aortorenal bypass, preferably with saphenous vein, is probably the most versatile technique. However, thromboendar­terectomy is especially useful for ostial atherosclerosis involving multiple renal arteries. When the artery is sufficiently redundant, reimplantation is probably the simplest technique and one par­ticularly appropriate for combined repairs of aortic and renal pathology.
Certain measures are used in almost all renal artery operations. Mannitol is administered IV in 12.5-g doses early, and repeated before and after periods of renal ischemia, up to a total dose of 1 g/kg patient body weight. Just prior to renal artery occlusion, a bolus of 100 units of heparin per kilogram body weight is given intravenously, and systemic anticoagulation is verified by activated clotting time. Unless required for hemostasis, protamine is not rou­tinely administered for reversal of heparin at completion of the operation.
Aortorenal Bypass
The most common method of revascularization is aortorenal bypass (
Fig. 25-1). Three types of material are available for con-
duit: autologous saphenous vein, autologous hypogastric artery, and prosthetic grafts. The choice of conduit depends on a num­ber of factors. In adults, we preferentially use the saphenous vein. However, if the vein is small (<
4 mm in diameter) or sclerotic, the hypogastric artery or a synthetic prosthetic graft may be preferable. A 6-mm, thin-walled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft is satis­factory when the distal renal artery is of large caliber (
4 mm) and
provides long-term patency equivalent to that of saphenous vein.
Thromboendarterectomy
In cases of bilateral atherosclerosis of the renal artery origins, simultaneous bilateral endarterectomy may be the most appropri­ate procedure. Although endarterectomy may be performed in a transrenal fashion, the transaortic technique is used in the major­ity of instances. The transaortic method is particularly applicable in patients with multiple renal arteries that demonstrate orificial disease. Transaortic endarterectomy is performed through a lon­gitudinal aortotomy, with sleeve endarterectomy of the aorta and eversion endarterectomies of the renal arteries (Fig. 25-2). When combined aortic replacement is planned, the transaortic endar­terectomy is performed through the transected aorta (
Fig. 25-3).
When using the transaortic technique, it is important to mobilize the renal arteries extensively to allow eversion of the vessel into the aorta. This allows the distal endpoint to be completed under direct vision.
Renal Artery Reimplantation
After the renal artery has been dissected from the surrounding retroperitoneal tissue, the vessel may be somewhat redundant. When the RAS is orificial and there is sufficient vessel length, the renal artery can be transected and reimplanted into the aorta at a slightly lower level. The renal artery must be spatulated and a por­tion of the aortic wall removed, as in renal artery bypass.
Splanchnorenal Bypass
Splanchnorenal bypass and other indirect procedures are also used as alternative methods for renal revascularization.
30
In general, the authors do not believe these procedures demonstrate long-term patency equivalent to direct aortorenal reconstructions, but they are useful in a selected subgroup of high-risk patients. Subcostal incisions are used to perform splanchnorenal bypass.
30
The right and left renal arteries are exposed through medial visceral rota­tion. A great saphenous vein (GSV) graft is typically used to con­struct the bypass. Occasionally the gastroduodenal artery on the

Length of arteriotomy is at least three times diameter of artery to prevent recurrent anastomotic stenosis. For the anastomosis, 6-0 or 7-0 monofilament polypropylene sutures are used in continuous fashion under loupe magnification. If apex sutures are placed too deeply or with excess advancement, stenosis can be created, posing risk of late graft thrombosis. (From Benjamin

Ex Vivo
Reconstruction
INTRAOPERATIVE DUPLEX ULTRASONOGRAPHY
Provided the best method of reconstruction is chosen for renal artery repair, the short course and high blood flow rates characteristic of renal reconstruction favor long-term patency. Consequently, flawless technical repair plays a dominant role in determining postoperative success. Intraoperative duplex ultra­sonography provides a rapid, safe method of verifying techni­cally flawless repair.
29
Because the ultrasound probe can be placed immediately adjacent to the vascular repair, high carrying frequencies may be used that provide excellent B-scan detail sen­sitive to less than 1-mm anatomical defects. Once imaged, defects can be viewed in multiple projections during conditions of unin­terrupted pulsatile blood flow. Intimal flaps not apparent during static conditions are easily imaged while avoiding the adverse effects of additional renal ischemia. In addition to excellent ana­tomical detail, important hemodynamic information is obtained from spectral analysis of the Doppler-shifted signal proximal and distal to the imaged defect.
29
Our technique of intraoperative
assessment with routine participation of a vascular technologist has yielded a scan time of 7 to 10 minutes and a 98% study com­pletion rate.
31
We have studied more than 800 renal artery repairs with ana-
tomical follow-up evaluation and reported on a subgroup of 249
32
repairs.
Intraoperative assessment was normal in 157, whereas 84 repairs (35%) demonstrated one or more defects by ultra­sound imaging. Twenty-five of these defects (10%) had focal increases in peak systolic velocity (PSV) of 2.0 ms or greater with turbulent distal waveform and were defined as major. Each major defect prompted immediate operative revision, and in each case a significant defect was discovered. Ultrasound defects defined as minor were not repaired. At 12-month follow-up, renal artery patency free of critical stenosis was demonstrated in 97% of nor­mal studies, 100% of minor defects, and 88% of revised major defects, providing an overall patency of 97%. Among the five fail­ures with normal ultrasound studies, three occurred after ex vivo branch renal artery repair.
Results of Surgical Management
Marone et al. reported on operative management for isch­emic nephropathy due to ARAS. went 104 renal artery revascularizations between 1990 and 2001. Perioperative mortality was 4.1%. Perioperative morbidity occurred in 5% of patients. After open surgical repair, 42% of their patients demonstrated improved early renal function (defined as ≥20% decrease in SCr), 17% experienced a 20% or more increase in SCr, and the remaining 41% exhibited no significant change. Improved renal function was durable among surgical survivors at a mean follow-up of 46 months, whereas 28% developed worsened func­tion, and 39% remained unchanged. These authors noted that early renal function response was an accurate predictor of long-term survival.

Overall, 90% of patients exhibited some clinical manifestation of extrarenal atherosclero­sis. Evidenced by SCr 1.8 mg/dL or greater, 49% were considered to have ischemic nephropathy, including 40 patients who were dialysis dependent.
Among 720 renal artery reconstructions, aortorenal bypass was performed in 384 instances, with 204 vein grafts, 159 PTFE grafts, and 21 Dacron prosthetic grafts. Splanchnorenal bypass was performed in 13 instances. Renal artery reimplantation was performed in 56 instances, whereas renal artery thromboendarterectomy was performed in 267 instances. Revascularization was combined with aortic or mesenteric reconstruction in 41% of patients. Of the 776 kidneys that were operated on, 56 required nephrectomy.
Perioperative mortality, defined as in-hospital death or death within 30 days of surgery, occurred in 23 patients (4.6%). This figure was comparable to reports from other centers with a large expe­rience in renovascular disease. lowing bilateral renal artery reconstruction or renal reconstruction combined with simultaneous aortic or mesenteric artery repair. Mortality following isolated renal artery repair (0.8%) differed sig­nificantly from mortality following combined or bilateral repair (6.9%). Perioperative mortality was significantly and independently associated with advanced age and congestive heart failure (CHF).
Blood pressure measurements and medication requirements at least 1 month after operative intervention were used to define blood pressure response.3 Among all surgical survivors, 85% were cured or improved, and 15% were considered failed. When com­pared with blood pressure improved or failed, blood pressure cure was significantly and independently associated with an improved dialysis-free survival. Although improved blood pressure was associated with significant postoperative decreases in mean blood pressure and medication requirements (205/107 mmHg vs. 147/81 mmHg, and 2.8 vs. 1.7 medications), improved blood pressure was not associated with increased dialysis-free survival. Product-limit estimates of dialysis-free survival according to post­operative blood pressure response are depicted in
Considering all surgical survivors, renal function increased significantly after operation (preoperative vs. postoperative mean EGFR, 41.1 ± [P <0.0001]). For individual patients, a significant change in excretory renal function was defined as a change in EGFR of 20% or more obtained at least 3 weeks after repair. Some 58% of patients with ischemic nephro pathy (preoperative SCr 1.8 mg/dL) were improved, including 28 patients who were removed permanently from dialysis; 35% remained unchanged, and 7% had worsened renal function. on severe hypertension and rapidly deteriorating renal function, the proportion of patients who improved increased with increas­ing severity of preoperative renal dysfunction. Among dialysis­dependent patients, 70% were permanently removed from dialysis. This association with increased preoperative SCr and improved postoperative renal function was significant (P <0.0001).
Success after renal artery intervention is measured by survival free of dialysis dependence. Freedom from death or dialysis was significantly and independently associated with cured compared with improved or unchanged hypertension. Freedom from dialysis was also significantly and independently associated with improved compared with unchanged or worsened postoperative renal function. Preoperative factors significantly and independently associated with death or dialysis included diabetes mellitus, severe aortic occlusive disease, and poor preoperative renal function.

The relationship between each category of renal function response and dialysis-free survival demonstrated significant inter­actions with preoperative renal function. An increased risk of death or dialysis was observed for all patients if there was no improve­ment in postoperative renal function (
Fig. 25-6A).2 For patients with
unchanged renal function following surgery, an increased risk of death or dialysis was significantly associated with a preoperative renal function at the 25th percentile of EGFR or less (i.e., with isch­emic nephropathy). These relationships are shown for predicted dialysis-free survival for 25th percentile and median values of pre­operative EGFR according to postoperative renal function response (see
Fig. 25-6).

These associations between renal function response and dialysis-free survival suggest that the designation of renal function unchanged after intervention as “preserved” may be misleading. Patients with ischemic nephropathy unchanged after open surgi­cal repair remain at increased risk for death or dialysis. Similar data relating renal function response and survival free from dialysis after catheter-based intervention are not currently available.
Consequences of Operative Failures
Renal artery repairs failed in approximately 4% of patients dur­ing follow-up. intervention was equivalent to that observed after primary operative intervention. However, patients requiring secondary renal artery intervention had a significant and independent risk of eventual dialysis dependence (35% vs. 4%). reviewed report has examined the dialysis risk associated with restenosis after catheter-based interventions.
Our experience with failed renal artery repairs reinforces two important issues. First, the irretrievable loss of excretory renal func­tion observed after failed renal artery repair supports the view that renal revascularization should be performed for clear clinical indi­cations, not as a “prophylactic” procedure in the absence of either hypertension or renal insufficiency. reconstructions in these patients are characterized by prolonged patency. Early failures of repair reflect errors in surgical technique or operative judgment.

Surgery After Failed Percutaneous Transluminal Renal Artery Angioplasty
Our experience with 29 atherosclerotic patients repaired after a failed PTRA has been reported. failure of PTRA on methods of secondary surgical management, and blood pressure and excretory renal function response to operation.
Secondary operative repair was considered complicated in more than half of these patients. In all, four nephrectomies were required. Branch renal artery reconstruction was required in two thirds of patients. Hypertension after operative repair for failed PTRA was cured in 7%, improved in 50%, and considered unchanged in 43%. Compared with patients treated by operative repair only, operative management following failed PTRA was associated with blood pressure benefit (57% vs. 89% benefited [P <0.001]).
Summary
With proper patient selection, operative repair of atherosclerotic renovascular disease results in both improved blood pressure and renal function. Improvement in renal function is associated with a significant increase in dialysis-free survival independent of all other covariates. The application of intraoperative duplex ultrasonography to assess renal artery reconstruction results in long-term primary patency exceeding 96%. However, when fail­ure of operative repair occurs, eventual renal function is wors­ened, culminating in an increased risk of dialysis dependence and death.
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with or without stenting offers blood pressure benefit similar to operative repair for non­ostial atherosclerotic lesions of the main renal artery. However, cumulative data for ostial lesions associated with ischemic nephropathy suggest that PTRA with or without endoluminal stent­ing yields inferior renal function benefit. The common practice of reporting unchanged renal function as “preserved” or “stabi­lized” after renal artery intervention may be misleading. Patients with ischemic nephropathy unchanged after open surgical repair

For these reasons, the authors recommend open opera­tive repair of bilateral ostial atherosclerosis and renal artery occlu­sion associated with severe hypertension and renal insufficiency in good-risk patients.
