In a previous study of unilateral renal artery stenosis the angiograms of patients with a favourable blood pressure response after surgery were found to be characterized by a reduction of renal arterial lumen greater than or equal to 90% and/or renal collateral circulation. Ancillary features were post-stenotic dilatation and a reduction of kidney length greater than or equal to 1 cm (Andersson; Andersson, Bergentz, Dymling, Ericsson, Hansson & Hökfelt). This report deals with 32 patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis who were followed 6--54 months after operation. The preoperative angiograms were analysed retrospectively without knowledge of the blood pressure response. In patients with bilateral fibromuscular dysplasia a good correlation was found between the above-mentioned criteria and a favourable blood pressure respone. In patients with bilateral arteriosclerotic stenosis no correlation was found. It was concluded that renal angiography constitutes a valuable predictive test in bilateral non-arteriosclerotic stenosis. In the presence of bilateral arteriosclerotic stenosis the selection of patients for surgery should be based on other parameters such as kidney function, age and general vascular status of the patient.
