Abdominal aortograms are available for comparison in about 35% of cases.Because of the large number of patients with hypertension, the majority of the book deals with the angiographic findings in hypertension; however, other portions deal with the technique of selective renal arteriography, congenital anomalies, vascular malformations, renal parenchymal lesions, radiographic kidney anatomy, case material, aortography, and application of selective
