Abstract
In patients with aortoiliac disease and a stenosis of one or two renal artery, renal hypertension is rarely the sole mechanism of the elevat ed blood pressure. The preservation of nephronic mass being the aim of the renal revascularization, we firmly believe that only three tests are required for the operative decision : renal ultrasonography, nephr oscintigraphy and global and selective aortography.
