Isolated Renal Artery Stenosis: Often Missed Etiology
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Even though the prevalence of secondary hypertension is not well documented, renal artery stenosis due to atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia is a reason to be evaluated, especially in young female subjects having refractory hypertension to pharmacotherapy. The treatment of choice is percutaneous renal angioplasty with stent which leads to good control of hypertension.
