Data from 121 consecutive patients with hypertension and renovascular disease, first diagnosed between 1975 and 1982 in Glasgow and Newcastle, were analysed retrospectively to determine the factors which influenced their outcome. Thirty-six patients died between the data of arteriography and 1st January 1987, giving five and ten year survival rates of 83% and 67%. Survival was greatly reduced in comparison with that of age-sex-matched controls in the general population of the West of Scotland, and was also less than that of essential hypertensives matched for age, sex, initial diastolic blood pressure and smoking habit who had attended the Glasgow Blood Pressure Clinic during the same period. Multivariate analysis showed that age, cigarette smoking and presence of atheromatous disease were significantly and independently related to outcome among the patients with renovascular disease, whereas male sex, centre of origin, severity of hypertension when first seen, initial renal function and presence of bilateral disease were not. Despite a trend towards benefit from surgical intervention (ten year survival in medical group 62%, in surgical group 71%; p = 0.19) our data do not prove that intervention is better than medical treatment, largely because the decision on intervention was not randomised. A prospective trial would be required to answer this important question.
