Abstract
Coarctations of the abdominal aorta are often associated with renal artery stenosis resulting in hypertension, which is commonly the presenting symptom. Controversy exists concerning the origin of these lesions, but there is general agreement that surgical intervention is the treatment of choice. We report four patients with abdominal aortic coarctation and concomitant renal artery stenosis who required aortoaortic bypass and appropriate bypass to the renal vessels. We advise total correction in one stage and proximal renal artery bypass from native aorta or iliac artery when it is technically feasible.
