[Percutaneous transluminal catheter dilatation of kidney artery stenoses in patients with renovascular hypertension].

14 patients with severe hypertension showed unilateral (7) or bilateral (6) stenoses of renal artery due to arteriosclerosis (12) or fibromuscular hyperplasia (7); one stenosis appeared after renal transplantation. Successful application of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of renal artery was performed in 14 stenoses. 4 of 10 patients showed normal values of blood-pressure, in 4 patients blood-pressure was improved, in 2 patients hypertension remained unchanged. The patients were observed 1 to 23 months after dilatation; antihypertensive drugs were necessary in all cases, but could be reduced. The effectiveness of the procedure was demonstrated by renal arteriogram and determination of pre- and poststenotic blood-pressure values.

[Intragastric titration, a method for clinically testing the effect of antacids].

Intragastric titration can be used not only for the quantiative assessment of gastric secretion in healthy subjects and patients with peptic ulcer, but also for differentiating disorders in the regulation of HCI secretion. It is useful foe evaluating the effect of antacids after stimulation of acid secretion with a test meal. The duration of action of an antacid taken about one hour after a meal was much greater than when taken on an empty stomach. Results in 12 healthy subjects indicate that frequent small meals (6 to 8 daily) and antacids between meals greatly reduce gastric acidity. Whether these findings hold true for patients with peptic ulcer remains to be determined.
