A case of stent insertion into stenotic renal artery caused by Takayasu's arteritis / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Takayasu's arteritis is a common etiology of renovascular hypertension in orientals. We report a case of renovascular hypertension caused by Takayasu's arteritis in a 18 year-old male patient. The narrowed renal artery was treated by renal artery stenting and blood pressure was normalized after the procedure. Restenosis was suspected after 7 months follow-up because his blood pressure was elevated.
