The presented work is founded on the analysis of the results of the surgical treatment of 43 patients with combined injuries to the brachycephalic and renal arteries, manifested clinically as syndromes of cerebral ischemia and vasorenal hypertension. 50 operations were carried out upon 43 patients. 45 of these 50 operations were reconstructive ones. 6 patients were subjected to several-stages operations both upon the brachycephalic and renal arteries. 80% of the patients showed good long-term results. An active surgical tactics allowed to diminish dramatically the percentage of nephrectomy in non-specific aorto-arteritis.
