title: Abciximab combined with angioplasty in a patient with renal artery stent subacute thrombosis.
abstract: Following renal artery angioplasty and stenting, a female hypertensive patient suffered left renal artery stent subacute thrombosis. A second successful angioplasty was performed using 5000 U heparin i.v. and 0.25-mg/kg bolus followed by a 12-hr 10-microg/min infusion of abciximab. Normal renal flow was re-established and remained normal at 1-year follow-up.
