Successful Treatment of Resistant Hypertension by Means of Chronic Renal Artery Occlusion Revascularization in a Fragile Patient

چکیده
BACKGROUND Renal artery stenosis is a common cause of secondary hypertension refractory to medical therapy. Percutaneous angioplasty along with metallic stent placement has been described as an effective treatment for revascularization of the renal artery. CASE REPORT A 54-year-old woman affected by paranoid schizophrenia with a history of hypertension and chronic renal failure due to renal artery occlusion was treated by endovascular recanalization and stent placement that resulted in improvement of renal function and control of hypertension. Laboratory studies 4 months after the revascularization revealed blood creatinine decrease gradually from 8.57 mg/dL to 3 mg/dL. CONCLUSIONS Revascularization with stenting has proven to be a safe and effective procedure in the treatment of total renal artery occlusion which also led to a significant relief at a psychological level.

متن کاملRecovery of renal function after delayed percutaneous dilation of a subtotal in-stent restenosis of the renal artery in a left solitary kidney
In-stent restenosis of a previously atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis initially treated with endovascular stenting may progress to subtotal occlusion and loss of renal function. The clinical course of an acute occlusion is mainly acute oligo-anuric renal failure. Therefore, rapid diagnosis and treatment are critical for renal survival. Even after successful endovascular treatment, a close c...
