Renal Artery Stenting

Used to treat renal artery stenosis, a condition where one or both arteries that supply blood to the kidneys are narrowed. This can cause uncontrolled hypertension and worsening kidney function. The procedure involves placing a stent through a catheter to reopen the narrowed vessel.

Candidates often include patients with:

• Resistant high blood pressure
• Sudden decline in kidney function
• Evidence of renal artery narrowing on imaging
