| Abstract: | p = 0.17) and the average number of antihypertensive medications decreased to 1.9 (p= 0.001). During the median follow-up of 33 months, 10 patients died, mainly from cardiac causes. Our experience indicates
that the splenic and hepatic arteries provide useful alternatives to renal revascularization in selected circumstances with
an acceptable rate of perioperative mortality and morbidity. The expected long-term survival in this group of patients is
low. |
