Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty successfully treated renal artery stenosis in an elderly patient with aortoarteritis. The procedure improved renal function and blood pressure, demonstrating a viable treatment option.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Nephrology

Background:

  • Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a significant cause of secondary hypertension and kidney disease.
  • Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is the standard treatment for RAS.
  • Aortoarteritis (Takayasu arteritis) can affect the renal arteries, leading to stenosis.

Observation:

  • This case report details an elderly female patient diagnosed with type III aortoarteritis.
  • The patient presented with stenosis in the right renal artery.
  • Treatment involved successful recanalization and stenting of the affected renal artery.

Findings:

  • The renal artery stenting procedure was technically successful.
  • Post-procedure, the patient exhibited satisfactory improvement in renal function.

  • Blood pressure control was also satisfactory following the intervention.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the efficacy of PTA and stenting for treating renal artery stenosis secondary to aortoarteritis.
    • It suggests that endovascular intervention is a valuable therapeutic option in complex RAS cases.
    • Successful management can lead to improved long-term renal outcomes and blood pressure control.
