Malignant hypertension due to renal artery stenosis after open partial nephrectomy in a solitary kidney.
Laparoscopic and open partial nephrectomy is now routinely performed on small renal masses. Complications of clamping the renal artery during nephron-sparing surgery can include atheroembolic events and dissection of the renal artery. We report a case involving renal artery stenosis after open partial nephrectomy on a solitary kidney.
