title: Autotransplantation and stent implantation for bilateral renal artery fibromuscular dysplasia.
abstract: A 36-yr-old male was found to have renovascular hypertension due to an occluded right renal artery and 70% stenosis in the left renal artery, caused by fibromuscular dysplasia. The right kidney was supplied by collateral blood flow, and secreted more renin than the left kidney. Two differential therapeutic approaches were taken: autotransplantation for the right kidney and percutaneous transluminal renal angioplasty followed by stent implantation for the left. The renovascular hypertension was treated with these therapies, preserving renal function in this patient.
