Results of the functional "cut off" of the kidneys in 9 patients with the terminal stage of chronic renal insufficiency for refractory hypertony are reported. Besides, this procedure was fulfilled in 2 patients in different terms after renal transplantation. Total embolization of the renal arteries is believed by the authors to result in normal or reduced arterial pressure in 85% of cases. No hypotensive effect was noted in incomplete "cut off" of the renal vessels.
