The application of this technique has recently been extended to the coronary arteries (3), and we have developed a method for transluminal dilatation of renal artery stenoses. We report here the case of a patient whose hypertension appears to have been cured by this technique.A 50-year-old woman was admitted to hospital in 1977 because of hypertension. In July her blood pressure was 240/120 mm Hg, and methyldopa therapy, 750 mg daily, was started. At examination her blood pressure was...References1.
