Renal Artery Stenosis Complicated by Thoracic Aortic Dissection: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine and Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Renal artery stenosis is an uncommon presentation of secondary hypertension. We present a case of bilateral renal artery stenosis complicated by thoracic aortic dissection. The patient underwent successful thoracic endovascular repair and bilateral renal artery stenting.
