Abstract
In current clinical practice, angiographic evaluation of patients with suspected renovascular hypertension usually follows clinical suspicio n and positive captopril scintigraphy. Early digital angiography and p ercutaneous renal, artery angioplasty have evolved as the accepted tre atment pattern. Doppler sonography and MR angiography continue to be e valuated as potential methods of noninvasive screening.
