Conclusion
The percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting technique is a reliable and safe method for treating bifurcation stenosis of the renal artery with stable long-term results.
Supporting Evidence
- The patient had a significant reduction in blood pressure after the procedure.
- Three years of follow-up showed no complications or need for further intervention.
- Angiographic results were good with no procedure-related complications.
Takeaway
A woman with high blood pressure had a blockage in her kidney artery, and doctors used special balloons and stents to fix it, helping her blood pressure return to normal.
Methodology
The procedure involved renal angiogram, balloon dilatation, and stenting of both renal artery branches.
Participant Demographics
39-year-old female with poorly controlled hypertension.
