[Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty on the solitary kidney. Report of a complicated case of renovascular hypertension].
We report a complicated case of renovascular hypertension from bilateral atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis in a solitary functioning kidney. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was performed after diagnostic arteriography. Hypertension remitted only after surgical removal of the nonfunctioning kidney. In our view, PTA is the procedure of choice even in the solitary kidney.
