Abstract
This report describes a case of complete occlusion of the right renal artery. Arteriography
and intravenous pyelography demonstrated no kidney function. The occlusion was treated
by endarterectomy, and eleven days later another intravenous pyelogram revealed that
renal function had been restored. A review of the literature also suggests that acute
occlusion (caused by embolism) or chronic occlusion (caused by atherosclerosis) should
be treated surgically to preserve renal function, reserving nephrectomy only if that
should fail.
