Abstract
- Percutenous transluminal angioplasty is world wide prevalent method for treatment of vascular occlusivedisease. Its advantage is avoidance of major surgery as well as decreased cost with shortened hospital days. Inrenal arterial stenosis, successful angioplasty produces draumatic reduction of blood pressure in renin dependent hypertension. Even in renin independent hypertension, blood pressure may be easier to control withantihypertensive medication following renal arterial dilatation. We have performed 2 cases of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in renal arterial stenosis recently. One patient, 58-year-old female, has gained normalblood pressure after angioplasty, while the other showed not very satisfactory blood pressure control because ofchronic bilateral renal parenchymal damage.
