[Treatment of renal artery stenosis by percutaneous intraluminal angioplasty].
New therapeutic possibilities can be considered by the introduction of techniques for dilatation of arterial stenoses. Percutaneous intraluminal angioplasty of a stenosed renal artery is a simple procedure carrying few risks, and arterial permeability can be achieved in 90% cases. Recovery or improved control of hypertension can be obtained in the majority of cases, and renal parenchyma vascularization maintained. Though evaluation of long-term results is not yet possible, P.T.A. appears to be a very seductive therapeutic method.
