  • Fig. 1 BP graphs of medication use and hospitalization history (before percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty).ARF = acute renal failure, BP = blood pressure, SBP = systolic blood pressure, DBP = diastolic blood pressure.

  • Fig. 2 Chest X-ray showed mild cardiomegaly and acute pulmonary edema, at the time of admission.

  • Fig. 3 Images of the left renal artery stenosis. (A) Solitary kidney and left renal artery stenosis on computed tomography. (B) A percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty was performed using a 7 × 29 mm stent (Omnilink Elite; Abbott Laboratories, Chicago, IL, USA).
