Exclusive carbon dioxide-guided renal artery stenting in a case of Takayasu's arteritis with a solitary functioning kidney.
We report the case of a 28-year-old female with type II Takayasu's arteritis affecting her single functioning kidney. Impaired renal function precluded the use of conventional contrast media. We used carbon dioxide-guided renal angioplasty to successfully treat the patient.
