title: Chronic renal artery dissection with aneurysm formation treated by stent implantation with coil embolization with detailed intravascular ultrasound evaluation.
abstract: Treatment options for chronic renal artery dissection, which is a rare cause of renal artery stenosis and renovascular hypertension, such as medical management, percutaneous intervention, and open surgical repair remain controversial. We describe a 55-year-old man with a chronic dissecting aneurysm of a renal artery complicated with renovascular hypertension that was initially diagnosed by computed tomography angiography, evaluated by intravascular ultrasound, and treated by stent implantation with coil embolization.© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
