The renovascular hypertension is a rare disease in which obstructive lesion of renal artery results in hypertension and it is the most common surgically curable form of hypertension. Recently, we experienced two cases of renovascular hypertension treated successfully with resection of the stenotic segment and end-to-side reanastomosis of the renal artery to the aorta in one case, and with resection of the stenotic segment and saphenous vein bypass graft in the other case at the Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery, Chungnam National University Hospital. Pathologic examinations revealed fibromuscular dysplasia of the medial layer of the renal artery in both cases

신성 고혈압은 소아기 이차성 고혈압의 흔한 원인이며, 그 중 신동맥 협착은 치료 가능한 고혈압의 가장 흔한 원인이다. 신혈관성 고혈압 치료로 약물치료에 반응하지 않는 경우 혹은 초기 단계부터 치료목적으로 경피적 혈관 성형술과 신장동맥 스텐트 등의 중재적 혈관 성형술이나 수술요법이 시행할 수 있다. 죽상 경화형 협착, 다발성의 협착, 미세동맥류, 그리고 협착 부위가 혈관 성형술이나 stent로 교정되기 어려운 경우에는 부분적 혹은 완전 신장동맥 색전술이 시도될 수 있다. 저자들은 신장동맥 색전술을 이용한 renal ablation요법으로 고혈압의 호전을 보인 신혈관 고혈압증 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

고혈압성 뇌병증은 혈압상승과 함께 두통, 오심, 구토, 시력장애, 경련, 의식 변화 등을 특징으로 하는 급성 신경 증후군으로 소아에서는 대부분 급성 신장염이나 신혈관성 고혈압에 의해 발생하고 지금까지 요로 결석과 동반된 고혈압상 뇌병증의 보고는 없었다. 저자들은 요관 결석과 동반되어 발생한 고혈압성 뇌병증 1례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Since the first report by Freeman of renal artery repair for renovascular hypertension in 1954, there has been a gradual improvement in the results of renovascular reconstruction. This is case report of renovascular hypertension due to diffuse primary arteritis, which was performed aorto-bllateral renal bypass graft with using of Y -woven dacron graft. This 33 y-o male has complained intermittent headache, facial edema & malignent hypertension symptoms for 1.5 years. He had the history of Rt. B-K amputation due to unhealed wound after trauma of the Rt. great toe about 7 years ago. The abdominal aortography revealed nearly not visualized the Rt. renal artery & severe narrowing of the Lt. renal arterly. During postop. course, Blood pressure was well controlled. At postop. 3rd week, systolic pressure was down to 130-140mmHg But, diastolic pressure was remained to 100-110mmHg. At postop. 30th day, exploration was done due to intestinal obstruction signs. But severe ischemic enteritis was occured due to fibrotic obstruction of the superior mesenteric artery. The next day, he was dead. in spite of Rt. common iliac artery-sup. mesenteric artery bypass graft.

흉부 대동맥 미분화성 다형성 육종은 매우 드문 질환으로 색전 사례, 신혈관성 고혈압, 등 통증 등의 증상을 보일 수 있다. 특히 대동맥 벽에서 기원하여 소낭 동맥류 파열로 보고된 경우는 극히 드물며 진균성 동맥류나 관통성 죽상경화 궤양과 감별이 어렵다. 이에 저자들은 소낭성 동맥류 파열로 혈관 내 흉부 대동맥 치료를 시행한 후 종괴가 발생하여 수술적 생검으로 확진된 미분화성 다형성 육종의 전산화단층촬영과 양전자방출단층촬영 소견을 보고하고자 하며 이를 통해 정확한 진단과 적절한 치료에 도움을 주고자 한다.

To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of captopril renal scan for renovascular hypertension, we employed the captopril renal scan in conjunction with renal angiography in 81 patients, 159 kidneys, who were referred to evaluate the cause of hypertension. We defined the renovascular hypertension by the criteria of demonstration of renal artery stenosis by angiography, and improvement or cure of hypertension by revascularization. Visual and quantitative evaluation of $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ renal scan was peformed pre and post captopril administration. The prevalence rate of renovascular hypertension was 40% in comparing with renal angiography, and 70% in confirmed cases. The causes of renovascular hypertension in 81 patients were Takayasu's arteritis, fibromuscular dysplasia, atherosclerosis, essential hypertension, chronic pyetonephritis etc. The sensitivity and specificity of captopril renal scan in comparing with renal angiography were 80%, 86.5%, respectively and also 84.2%, 72.6% in confirmed cases of renovascular hypertension, respectively. The causes of false negative cases were nonfunctioning kidney due to complete obstruction or long duration of disease in basal scan, segmental branch artery stenosis, unknown causes, and suspicious true negative cases without confirmation. The false positive cases were abdominal aortic stenosis or aneurysm, dehydration, unknown causes, and suspicious true positive cases. We conclude that captopril renal scintigraphy is highly sensitive, reasonably specific diagnostic method and comparable to other techniques very favorably.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the effect acupuncture by needle manipulation at acupoints, SP3 HT7, on the blood pressure and renin and atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) in plasma, cardiac hypertrophy in hypertensive rats induced by two kidney one clip (2K1C). Materials and Methods : The experiments were performed on twenty-five Sprague Dawley rats, 2K1C hypertension model was prepared by constricting the left renal artery with a sliver clip. Animals were divided into five groups, control, AC-1a and AC-2a(acupuncture at SP3 HT7 bilaterally and the needle was twirled and rotated forward with the thumb and forefinger of the right hand 6 times), AC-3a(acupuncture at SP3 HT7 bilaterally and the needle was inserted in the opposite direction(body direction) as the channel runs), AC-4a(acupuncture at SP3 HT7 bilaterally and the needle was inserted in the opposite direction(body direction) as the channel runs and the needle was twirled and rotated forward with the forefinger of the right hand 6 times). The treatments were started on the 4 week after inducing 2K1C, and they were performed two times a week for 3 weeks in rats. Results : The results are that The blood pressure was significantly decreased at 4 times in Acu-1a, The cardiac hypertrophy was significantly decrease in Acu-2a and Acu-3a. The activity of plasma renin was decreased in all groups without control and Acu-1a, and that of plasma ANP was decrease in Acu-2a and Acu-3a than control group. Conclusions : These results suggest that acupuncture on SP3 HT7 mostly cause significant changes on controlling renal hypertension induced by 2K1C in the rats.
