Renal artery blood flow assessed by video dilution technique before and after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.
Successful percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was performed in 3 cases of renal artery stenosis where the effect upon renal blood flow was quantified by video dilution technique. This technique adds important information to pressure gradients and renin assays obtained during the dilatation procedure.
