Renal revascularization was performed using the internal iliac artery in 25 patients. The causes for arterial damage were fibrodysplasia in 19 cases, athero sclerosis in 5 and aneurysm in one. Simple autotransplantation was performed in 10 cases, and ex-situ repair with subsequent autotransplantation in 15. Mean postoperative followup was 5.2 years; renal volume, evaluated with planimetry in IVP, was improved in 65% of the cases. Sixty-eight percent of the patients were cured from hypertension, 28% improved and 8% remained unchanged.
