[Arterial hypertension and stenosis of the accessory renal artery].
We present the case of a 45 year old patient with severe hypertension refractory to medical treatment who was diagnosed a significant stenosis of an accessory renal artery whilst the main renal arteries were normal. The arterial dilatation through angioplasty of the accessory artery improved dramatically the control of his hypertension.
