Successful angioplasty of renal artery stenosis due to aorto-arteritis.
A 24-year-old Chinese female who suffered from hypertension and acute myocardial infarction was found to have aorto-arteritis on angiographic examination, with total occlusion of her right coronary artery and subtotal occlusion of her right renal artery. Transluminal angioplasty of her right renal artery was successfully performed and this normalized her blood pressure from 165/105 to 135/85 mm Hg.
