    Abstract:
    Revascularization of renal artery stenosis for the treatment of hypertension is an established procedure. In selected clinical scenarios, successful revascularization procedures may preserve or restore renal function. We present a 66-year-old man with secundary hypertension and deteriorating renal function caused by bilateral atherosclerotic renal artery disease (complete obstruction of the left renal artery and subocclusive stenosis of the right) in which blood pressure was successfully controlled and renal function improved and maintained steady after bilateral percutaneus transluminal angioplasty and renal artery stenting.
