[State of the art: interventional radiology management of renovascular hypertension].
The management of renal artery stenosis (RAS) has been the subject of numerous clinical studies and recommendations, most frequently with regards to atherosclerotic RAS. We present the current recommendations from the French Society of Cardiac and Vascular Imaging updated from a recent literature review (April 2008) with regards to medical, endovascular and surgical management of atheroscletotic and non-atherosclerotic RAS. The evidence-based recommendations are ranked by level.
