Percutaneous transluminal dilatation of 80 renal artery stenoses was attempted in 68 patients. The procedure was technically successful in 58 (85%) patients. Fifty (86%) of the 58 patients were initially cured or improved. Life-table analysis of this group gives a cumulative success rate of 81% for a 3 year period. Hypertension recurred in only seven patients. There were no deaths related to the procedure, but four major complications occurred, including two secondary nephrectomies.
