Ninety hypertensive patients were investigated by intravenous pyelography, abdominal aortography, and renal biopsy. Accessory arteries were present in four of thirty-nine patients with secondary hypertension, whereas sixteen of fifty-one patients with primary hypertension exhibited this anomaly. These differences in distribution are statistically significant, and the relationship between access...

awareness of the presence of the accessory renal artery in kidney transplant, treatment of renal artery stenosis, clinical assessment of renal vascular hypertension, radiology and angiography interventions is very helpful. in 30% of cases the accessory renal artery is separated from the abdominal aorta and in most cases, this artery along with the main artery entered to the kidney through the h...

Introduction Increased intra-abdominal fat tissue is an important risk factor for hypertension. 1,2 Development of hypertension in obese individuals is associated with increases in blood volume, heart rate, cardiac output, and cardiac mass. 3-6 Frequently discussed pathogenic mechanisms involved in the development of 'obesity hypertension' include insulin resistance , increased sympathetic nerv...

Awareness of the presence of the accessory renal artery in kidney transplant, treatment of renal artery stenosis, clinical assessment of renal vascular hypertension, radiology and angiography interventions is very helpful. In 30% of cases the accessory renal artery is separated from the abdominal aorta and in most cases, this artery along with the main artery entered to the kidney through t...

Non-isthmic coarctation of the aorta is a rare congenital malformation in adults. Arterial hypertension frequent circumstance discovery. We reported case 22-year-old Guinean man who had been followed for 5 years hypertension. Clinically, he presented with upper limbs systolic pressure gradient 100 mmHg. The diagnosis was confirmed by thoracic angioscan, which showed 65.8% abdominal aorta. He on...

OBJECTIVE There has been an increased awareness of the presence and clinical importance of abdominal compartment syndrome. It is now appreciated that elevations of abdominal pressure occur in a wide variety of critically ill patients. Full-blown abdominal compartment syndrome is a clinical syndrome characterized by progressive intra-abdominal organ dysfunction resulting from elevated intra-abdo...

Midaortic syndrome (MAS) is a rare vascular disease that commonly causes renovascular hypertension. The lumen of the abdominal aorta narrows and the ostia of the branches show stenosis. MAS is associated with diminished pulses in the lower extremities compared with the upper extremities, severe hypertension with higher blood pressure in the upper rather than lower extremities, and an abdominal ...
